SNCF — Securing Networks with Firepower — Question 187

A network engineer is deploying a pair of Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense devices managed by Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center for High Availability. Internet access is a high priority for the business and therefore they have invested in internet circuits from two different ISPs. The requirement from the customer is that internet access must be available to their users even if one of the ISPs is down. Which two features must be deployed to achieve this requirement? (Choose two.)

Answer options

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Route Tracking monitors the status of the internet connections and allows for failover to the operational ISP, ensuring continuous internet access. SLA Monitor also checks the performance of the links and can trigger failover if an issue is detected, thus meeting the high availability requirement. The other options, while useful in different scenarios, do not directly address the need for maintaining internet connectivity during an ISP failure.
