NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 27

Which statements about high availability (HA) for FortiGates are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Virtual clustering can be configured between two FortiGate devices with multiple VDOM.
• B. Heartbeat interfaces are not required on the primary device.
• C. HA management interface settings are synchronized between cluster members.
• D. Sessions handled by UTM proxy cannot be synchronized.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct as virtual clustering does allow configuration between two FortiGate devices with multiple VDOMs. Option C is also correct because HA management interface settings are indeed synchronized across all cluster members. Options B and D are incorrect because heartbeat interfaces are essential for primary devices in HA setups, and UTM proxy sessions can be synchronized.
