NSE 8 – Network Security Expert (811) — Question 11

You must create a High Availability deployment with two FortiWebs in Amazon Web Services (AWS); each on different Availability Zones (AZ) from the same region. At the same time, each FortiWeb should be able to deliver content from the Web servers of both of the AZs.
Which deployment would fulfill this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Configure the FortiWebs in Active-Active HA mode and use AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) for the internal Web servers.
• B. Use AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) for both the FortiWebs in standalone mode and the internal Web servers in an ELB sandwich.
• C. Configure the FortiWebs in Active-Active HA mode and use AWS Route 53 to load balance the internal Web servers.
• D. Use AWS Route 53 to load balance the FortiWebs in standalone mode and use AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Peering to load balance the internal Web servers.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because using AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) allows both FortiWebs to manage traffic efficiently while also balancing loads for the internal Web servers. Option A is incorrect as it does not provide an ELB setup for FortiWebs in HA. Option C fails to utilize ELB for internal servers, which is necessary for this scenario. Option D incorrectly places the FortiWebs in standalone mode, which does not support the High Availability requirement.
