NGFW-ENGINEER Question #94: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: Enable in HA passive state. Enabling LACP in the HA passive state allows the passive firewall to negotiate and maintain the LACP session with the switch even while it is not active, so the aggregate Ethernet interface is already up and fully formed when a failover occurs, minimizing downtime.
Question
A network administrator is configuring an Aggregate Ethernet (AE) interface on an active/passive high availability (HA) pair. To reduce network downtime during a failover, the administrator wants the passive firewall's AE interface to be fully negotiated with the switch before it becomes active. Which Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) setting achieves this administrator's goal?
Options
- ALACP Mode active
- BEnable in HA passive state
- CSystem Priority: 1
- DTransmission Rate: fast
