A network administrator cannot select the link to be used for failover when configuring an active/passive HA Cisco FTD pair. Which configuration must be changed before setting up the high availability

Question

Options

• AAn IP address in the same subnet must be added to each Cisco FTD on the interface.
• BThe interface name must be removed from the interface on each Cisco FTD.
• CThe name Failover must be configured manually on the interface on each Cisco FTD.
• DThe interface must be configured as part of a LACP Active/Active EtherChannel.

• B
  95% (19)
• C
  5% (1)

Explanation

Cisco FTD requires that the interface designated as the failover/HA link have no logical name (nameif) configured in FMC. If an interface already has a name assigned, FMC will not allow it to be selected as the failover link. The name must be cleared from the interface on both FTD units before HA configuration can proceed. Adding an IP address in the same subnet (A) or naming it 'Failover' (C) are incorrect-HA link IPs are configured as part of the HA wizard itself, and FTD does not use a reserved name like ASA did. Configuring it as a LACP EtherChannel (D) is unrelated to the HA link selection restriction.
