NSE4 Question #92: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: Set up a full-mesh design which uses redundant interfaces.. The question asks for the best strategy to minimize impact on throughput during a single link failure in a FortiGate HA cluster.
Question
An administrator has formed a high availability cluster involving two FortiGate units. [ Multiple upstream Layer 2 switches] -- [ FortiGate HA Cluster ] -- [ Multiple downstream Layer 2 switches ] The administrator wishes to ensure that a single link failure will have minimal impact upon the overall throughput of traffic through this cluster. Which of the following options describes the best step the administrator can take? The administrator should _____________________.
Options
- AIncrease the number of FortiGate units in the cluster and configure HA in active-active mode.
- BEnable monitoring of all active interfaces.
- CSet up a full-mesh design which uses redundant interfaces.
- DConfigure the HA ping server feature to allow for HA failover in the event that a path is disrupted.
Explanation
The question asks for the best strategy to minimize impact on throughput during a single link failure in a FortiGate HA cluster.
Common mistakes.
- A. Increasing the number of FortiGate units or using active-active mode improves processing capacity and overall HA resilience, but doesn't directly address physical link redundancy to prevent throughput degradation from a single link failure.
- B. Enabling interface monitoring ensures failover if an interface goes down, but it doesn't add physical link redundancy to sustain throughput during the failure.
- D. Configuring HA ping servers aids in detecting path disruptions for failover, but it doesn't provide redundant physical links to maintain throughput when a link fails.
Concept tested. FortiGate HA link redundancy for throughput
