FCP – FortiWAN and Cloud Security Administrator 7.4 — Question 8

An administrator has been asked to deploy an active-passive (A-P) FortiGate cluster in the AWS cloud across two availability zones.
In addition to enhanced redundancy, which other major difference is there compared to deploying A-P high availability in the same availability zone?

Answer options

• A. The FortiGate devices act as a single, logical instance.
• B. Secondary IP address configuration is used.
• C. The number of subnets required is less.
• D. IP addressing and subnetting are not shared.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that in a multi-availability zone setup, the IP addressing and subnetting configurations are distinct for each zone, enhancing fault tolerance. The other options do not accurately capture this distinction; A describes the logical operation of the devices, B incorrectly implies a specific configuration method that is not exclusive to this setup, and C is inaccurate as more subnets may actually be required across different zones.
