NSE 8 – Network Security Expert (812) — Question 51

A customer is operating a FortiWeb cluster in a high volume active-active HA group consisting of eight FortiWeb appliances. One of the secondary members is handling traffic for one specific VIP. What will happen with the traffic if that secondary FortiWeb appliance fails?

Answer options

• A. Traffic will be redirected to the next appliance in the same traffic group.
• B. Traffic will be redistributed by the primary appliance to the remaining secondary appliances.
• C. Traffic will be redistributed by the primary appliance to the remaining secondary appliances that are configured to handle traffic for that specific VIP.
• D. Traffic will be redirected to the secondary member with the least number of sessions.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the primary appliance is responsible for redistributing traffic specifically to those secondary appliances that are configured to handle the failed VIP. Option A is incorrect as it does not specify the VIP context, B is wrong because it does not limit redistribution to the appropriate appliances, and D is not applicable since traffic is not directed based on session count for VIP management.
