FCP – FortiGate Administrator 7.4 — Question 14

Which two statements are true regarding FortiGate HA configuration synchronization? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Checksums of devices are compared against each other to ensure configurations are the same.
• B. Incremental configuration synchronization can occur only from changes made on the primary FortiGate device.
• C. Incremental configuration synchronization can occur from changes made on any FortiGate device within the HA cluster.
• D. Checksums of devices will be different from each other because some configuration items are not synced to other HA members.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because checksums are used to verify that configurations are identical across devices. Option C is also correct as incremental synchronization can happen from any device within the HA cluster, not just the primary. Options B and D are incorrect because B incorrectly limits synchronization to the primary device, and D misstates that checksums must differ when, in fact, they are designed to be consistent across synchronized devices.
