The traffic shaper configuration sets a Maximum Bandwidth of 50,000 Kbps. Traffic exceeding this rate will be dropped. Converting this to kilobytes per second (KBps) gives 50,000 / 8 = 6250 KBps, making option C correct.

The screenshot also displays real-time statistics, showing the Current Bandwidth is 789 Kbps. Converting this to KBps gives 789 / 8 = 98.625 KBps. This value is less than 100 KBps, which makes option B a correct observation based on the provided data.

A. The Guaranteed Bandwidth (2000 Kbps or 250 KBps) is a minimum reserved bandwidth, not a threshold for dropping packets. Packets are dropped for exceeding the maximum bandwidth, not for being below the guaranteed level.

D. The Per-IP Shaper setting is disabled. Therefore, the maximum bandwidth limit of 6250 KBps applies to the aggregate traffic matching the policy, not to each individual source IP address.

Maximum Bandwidth: "The maximum bandwidth that the shaper will allow. If traffic exceeds this value, it will be dropped." This directly supports the reasoning for option C.

Guaranteed Bandwidth: "The minimum bandwidth that the shaper will guarantee to the traffic." This supports the refutation of option A.

Per-IP traffic shaping: "When enabled, the traffic shaper is applied to each IP address individually." As this is disabled in the exhibit, it confirms the reasoning for why option D is incorrect.

2. Fortinet NSE 7—SD-WAN 7.2 Study Guide, Traffic Shaping > Traffic Shapers, Page 215.

The guide explains that the maximum bandwidth setting in a traffic shaper defines the upper limit for traffic, and any packets that cause the rate to exceed this limit are dropped. This validates the correctness of option C. The guide also clarifies that when per-IP shaping is not enabled, the shaper's limits are applied to the sum of all traffic processed by the policy. This validates the incorrectness of option D.
