300-710 Question #222: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A network engineer must provide redundancy between two Cisco FTD devices. The redundancy configuration must include automatic configuration, translation, and connection updates. After the initial configuration of the two appliances, which two steps must be taken to proceed with the redundancy configuration? (Choose two.)

Options

• AConfigure the virtual MAC address on the failover link.
• BDisable hellos on the inside interface.
• CConfigure the standby IP addresses.
• DEnsure the high availability license is enabled.
• EConfigure the failover link with stateful properties.

Explanation

Configure the standby IP addresses Standby IP addresses must be configured on the failover interfaces to enable communication and synchronization between the primary and secondary FTD devices. These IP addresses are used for the failover and stateful failover links that carry the synchronization and state information between the two units. Configure the failover link with stateful properties The failover link is a dedicated connection between the two FTD devices that carries failover communication, including unit state, hello messages, MAC address exchange, and configuration synchronization. Configuring the failover link with stateful properties ensures that connection state information is passed to the standby device, allowing active connections to be preserved during Note: You cannot configure a virtual MAC address for the failover or Stateful Failover links. The MAC and IP addresses for those links do not change during failover.
