Which two options are features of a scalable cluster design utilizing Cisco ASA firewalls? (Choose two)

The correct answer is B. The design supports up to 100 Gbps of aggregate traffic. C. Each member of the cluster can forward every traffic flow. In a Cisco ASA cluster design: (B) is correct - ASA clustering supports up to 100 Gbps of aggregate throughput across the cluster. (C) is correct - in the ASA clustering model, while one unit acts as the 'owner' of a flow, any cluster member can receive and forward traffic for…

Explanation

In a Cisco ASA cluster design: (B) is correct - ASA clustering supports up to 100 Gbps of aggregate throughput across the cluster. (C) is correct - in the ASA clustering model, while one unit acts as the 'owner' of a flow, any cluster member can receive and forward traffic for any flow by redirecting it internally; this is a key design benefit. (A) is incorrect - ASA clustering supports up to 16 units, not 10. (D) is incorrect - aggregate traffic is measured in Gbps (bandwidth), not Terabytes (data volume); the spec is 100 Gbps. (E) is misleading - load balancing is performed by an external switch using EtherChannel hashing, not actively by the ASA cluster itself.
