Implementing Cisco Threat Control Solutions (SITCS, legacy) — Question 3

Which two statements about devices within a Cisco ESA cluster are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Clustered systems must consist of devices in the same hardware series.
• B. Clustered devices can communicate via either SSH or Cluster Communication Service.
• C. Clustered devices can communicate only with Cluster Communication Service.
• D. In-the-cloud devices must be in a separate cluster from on-premise devices.
• E. Clustered devices can run different versions of AsyncOS.

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Answer A is correct as Cisco ESA clusters require devices within the same hardware series for compatibility. Answer B is also correct since clustered devices can communicate through SSH or Cluster Communication Service, providing flexibility in communication. The other options are incorrect because clustered devices must use Cluster Communication Service, on-premise and cloud devices can be in the same cluster, and all devices in a cluster must run the same version of AsyncOS.
