Implementing and Operating Cisco Collaboration Core Technologies (CLCOR) — Question 150

What is the major difference between the two possible Cisco IM and Presence high-availability modes?

Answer options

• A. Balanced mode provides user load balancing and user failover in the event of an outage. Active/standby mode provides an always on standby node in the event of an outage, and it also provides load balancing.
• B. Balanced mode provides user load balancing and user failover only for manually generated failovers. Active/standby mode provides an unconfigured standby node in the event of an outage, but it does not provide load balancing.
• C. Balanced mode provides user load balancing and user failover in the event of an outage. Active/standby mode provides an always on standby node in the event of an outage, but it does not provide load balancing.
• D. Balanced mode does not provide user load balancing, but it provides in the event of an outage. Active/standby mode provides an always on standby node in the event of an outage, but it does not provide load balancing.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, accurately describes that Balanced mode provides both user load balancing and failover during outages, while Active/standby mode ensures a standby node is always available but does not offer load balancing. Option A incorrectly states that Active/standby mode provides load balancing, while option B mischaracterizes the standby node's configuration. Option D incorrectly claims that Balanced mode lacks user load balancing.
