Which two conditions are necessary for high availability to function between two Cisco FTD devices? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. The units must be the same version E. The units must be the same model. Cisco FTD High Availability (active/standby) requires both units to be identical hardware models (e.g., both FPR2110) and running the same software version. This ensures configuration compatibility and seamless state synchronization during failover. Mixing models (Choice C) is…

Explanation

Cisco FTD High Availability (active/standby) requires both units to be identical hardware models (e.g., both FPR2110) and running the same software version. This ensures configuration compatibility and seamless state synchronization during failover. Mixing models (Choice C) is explicitly not allowed. HA can be configured in both routed and transparent modes (eliminating D), and domain/group membership (Choice B) is not a prerequisite.
