NSE 6 – FortiAuthenticator 6.4 — Question 9

You are the administrator of a global enterprise with three FortiAuthenticator devices. You would like to deploy them to provide active-passive HA at headquarters, with geographically distributed load balancing.
What would the role settings be?

Answer options

• A. One standalone and two load balancers
• B. One standalone primary, one cluster member, and one load balancer
• C. Two cluster members and one backup
• D. Two cluster members and one load balancer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, specifies the appropriate configuration for achieving active-passive high availability with one device acting as the standalone primary, another as a cluster member, and the third as a load balancer. Options A, C, and D do not provide the correct mix of roles needed for both high availability and load balancing as required by the scenario.
