Which two statements are true about the FGCP protocol? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. FGCP elects the primary FortiGate device.
• B. FGCP is not used when FortiGate is in transparent mode.
• C. FGCP runs only over the heartbeat links.
• D. FGCP is used to discover FortiGate devices in different HA groups.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because FGCP is responsible for electing the primary device in a cluster. Option C is also accurate as FGCP communication takes place exclusively over heartbeat links. Options B and D are incorrect; FGCP can be used in transparent mode, and it does not facilitate discovery across different HA groups.
