SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 118

A company wants a solution to aggregate the capacity of two Cisco FTD devices to make the best use of resources such as bandwidth and connections per second. Which order of steps must be taken across the Cisco FTDs with Cisco FMC to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Add members to the Cisco FMC, configure Cisco FTD interfaces, create the cluster in Cisco FMC, and configure cluster members in Cisco FMC
• B. Add members to Cisco FMC, configure Cisco FTD interfaces in Cisco FMC, configure cluster members in Cisco FMC, create cluster in Cisco FMC, and configure cluster members in Cisco FMC
• C. Configure the Cisco FTD interfaces, add members to FMC, configure cluster members in FMC, and create cluster in Cisco FMC
• D. Configure the Cisco FTD interfaces and cluster members, add members to Cisco FMC, and create the cluster in Cisco FMC

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, outlines the necessary steps starting with configuring the Cisco FTD interfaces and cluster members before adding them to the Cisco FMC and creating the cluster. This sequence ensures that all prerequisites are in place before establishing the cluster. Options A, B, and C do not follow the correct order, which can lead to configuration issues or an incomplete setup.
