SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 137

A network engineer must provide redundancy between two Cisco FTD devices. The redundancy configuration must include automatic configuration, translation, and connection updates. After the initial configuration of the two appliances, which two steps must be taken to proceed with the redundancy configuration? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Configure the virtual MAC address on the failover link.
• B. Configure the failover link with stateful properties.
• C. Disable hellos on the inside interface.
• D. Ensure the high availability license is enabled.
• E. Configure the standby IP addresses.

Correct answer: B, E

Explanation

The correct options, B and E, are essential for establishing a proper redundancy setup. Configuring the failover link with stateful properties ensures that the devices can maintain session information, while setting the standby IP addresses is critical for network continuity. The other options, while relevant to the failover process, do not directly contribute to the initial steps needed for redundancy configuration.
