CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 156

Which of the following describes a configuration in which both nodes of a redundant system respond to service requests whenever possible?

Answer options

• A. Active-passive
• B. Failover
• C. Active-active
• D. Failback

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Active-active, which means both nodes are actively processing requests at the same time. Option A, Active-passive, involves only one node handling requests while the other remains idle until a failover occurs. Options B and D, Failover and Failback, respectively, refer to processes of switching to a backup node and returning to the primary node after recovery, not to simultaneous request handling.
