Cisco 300-710 Exam - Topic 5 Question 51 Discussion

An engineer wants to add an additional Cisco FTD Version 6.2.3 device to their current 6.2.3 deployment to create a high availability pair.The currently deployed Cisco FTD device is using local management and identical hardware including the available port density to enable the failover and stateful links required in a proper high availability deployment. Which action ensures that the environment is ready to pair the new Cisco FTD with the old one?
A) Change from Cisco FDM management to Cisco FMC management on both devices and register them to FMC.
B) Ensure that the two devices are assigned IP addresses from the 169 254.0.0/16 range for failover interfaces.
C) Factory reset the current Cisco FTD so that it can synchronize configurations with the new Cisco FTD device.
D) Ensure that the configured DNS servers match on the two devices for name resolution.

Wait, are we really using 169.254.x.x for failover? That seems odd!

D is a good point, but not the main priority here.

C sounds risky, why factory reset?

I think B is more important for failover interfaces.

A is definitely the way to go for FMC management!

I practiced a question about synchronizing configurations, and I feel like factory resetting the current device might not be necessary. Option C seems risky.

I think the failover interfaces need to be on a specific subnet, but I can't recall if 169.254.0.0/16 is the right one. It seems familiar though.

I remember studying that for high availability, both devices need to be managed the same way, so option A sounds right, but I'm not completely sure.

Matching DNS servers is important for name resolution, but I don't think it directly impacts the high availability setup. Option D might not be the best choice here.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Azure Policy seems like the obvious choice, but I want to double-check the other options just to be sure I'm not missing something.
