High Availability

Question

A FortiGate device with UTM profiles is reaching the resource limits, and the administrator expects the traffic in the enterprise network to increase. The administrator has received an additional FortiGate of the same model. Which two protocols should the administrator use to integrate the additional FortiGate device into this enterprise network? (Choose two.)

Options

  • AFGSP with external load balancers
  • BFGCP in active-active mode and with switches
  • CFGCP in active-passive mode and with VDOM disabled
  • DVRRP with switches

Explanation

When adding an additional FortiGate to an enterprise network that is already reaching its resource limits, the goal is to distribute traffic efficiently and ensure high availability. FGSP (FortiGate Session Life Support Protocol) with external load balancers FGSP allows session-aware load balancing between multiple FortiGate units without requiring them to be in an HA (High Availability) cluster. With external load balancers, incoming traffic is evenly distributed across multiple FortiGate This approach is useful for scaling out traffic handling capacity while ensuring that sessions remain synchronized between firewalls. FGSP is effective when stateful failover is required but without the constraints of traditional HA. FGCP (FortiGate Clustering Protocol) in active-active mode and with switches FGCP active- active mode enables multiple FortiGate devices to share traffic loads, increasing throughput and Active-active mode is suitable for balancing UTM processing across multiple FortiGates, making it ideal when resource limits are a concern. Using switches ensures redundancy and avoids single points of failure in the network. This mode is commonly used in enterprise networks where both scalability and redundancy are
