Question #: 12
Topic #: 5

When you are setting up two FortiAuthenticator devices in active-passive HA, which HA role must you select on the master FortiAuthenticator?

AActive-passive master

BStandalone master

CCluster member

DLoad balancing master

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

When you are setting up two FortiAuthenticator devices in active-passive HA, you need to select the active-passive master role on the master FortiAuthenticator device. This role means that the device will handle all requests and synchronize data with the slave device until a failover occurs. The slave device must be configured as an active-passive slave role. The other roles are used for different HA modes, such as standalone (no HA), cluster (active-active), or load balancing (active-active with load balancing).

Haha, I love how these questions try to trip you up with the specific terminology. 'Active-passive master' just sounds right, doesn't it? I'm going with that one too.

I'm not too familiar with FortiAuthenticator, but based on the information provided, I'd also go with A) Active-passive master. It seems logical that the primary device in an active-passive setup would be the 'master' device.

Yeah, I agree with Caprice. The question specifically mentions 'active-passive HA', so the master FortiAuthenticator device should be set to the 'Active-passive master' role. That's the only option that fits the scenario described.

Hmm, this question is a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the different HA roles for FortiAuthenticator devices, but I think the correct answer might be A) Active-passive master. That seems to make the most sense since we're setting up an active-passive HA configuration.
