[All NSE8_812 Questions]

Refer to the exhibit, which shows the high availability configuration for the FortiAuthenticator (FAC1).

Based on this information, which statement is true about the next FortiAuthenticator (FAC2) member that will join an HA cluster with this FortiAuthenticator (FAC1)?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The configuration excerpt shows that the SNAT source port partitioning behavior is set to dynamic. This means that the FortiGate will dynamically distribute SNAT source ports to operating FPCs or FPMs. This ensures that active sessions are not interrupted if an FPC or FPM goes down.

The other options are incorrect. Option B is incorrect because the default SNAT configuration is static. Option C is incorrect because the configuration excerpt does not specify that SNAT source ports are statically distributed. Option D is incorrect because the SNAT source ports are not evenly distributed across chassis slots.

Here are some additional details about SNAT source port partitioning behavior:

SNAT source port partitioning behavior can be set todynamicorstatic.

The default SNAT configuration isstatic.

Dynamic SNAT source port partitioning ensures that active sessions are not interrupted if an FPC or FPM goes down.

Static SNAT source port partitioning can improve performance by reducing the number of SNAT lookups.

I’m leaning towards the FSSO sessions being synchronized. It makes sense for continuity, but I need to double-check if that’s a standard feature in HA clusters.

The FortiToken license part is tricky. I feel like I read that licenses need to be installed on both units, but I can't remember if it's mandatory for FAC2.

I think I saw a similar question about HA interfaces in a practice exam. If I recall correctly, FAC2 can have its HA interface on a different network than FAC1.

I remember studying HA configurations, but I'm not sure if FAC2 can only process requests when FAC1 fails. That seems too limiting for an HA setup.

This is a tricky one. I'm not super familiar with the FortiAuthenticator HA functionality, so I'll need to carefully read through the options and try to reason through the implications.

Okay, the exhibit shows the current FAC1 setup, so I need to think about how a new FAC2 would integrate into that. The options seem to cover the main considerations, so I'll analyze each one.

The cost baseline is definitely related to project costs, so I'm leaning towards either A or C. I'll have to review my notes to be sure.
