FCP – FortiWAN and Cloud Security Administrator 7.4 — Question 15

A customer is attempting to deploy an active-passive high availability (HA) cluster using the software-defined network (SDN) connector in the AWS cloud.
What is an important consideration to ensure a successful formation of HA, failover, and traffic flow?

Answer options

• A. Both cluster members must be in the same availability zone.
• B. VDOM exceptions must be configured.
• C. Unicast FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) must be used.
• D. Both cluster members must show as healthy in the elastic load balancer (ELB) configuration.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Unicast FortiGate Clustering Protocol (FGCP) is essential for the proper functioning of the HA cluster, allowing for effective communication and failover. The other options, while relevant to certain configurations, do not specifically address the critical requirement for establishing the clustering protocol needed for HA in this context.
