Refer to the exhibit.Given the exhibit, which two statements about FortiGate FGSP HA cluster behavior are correct? (Choose two.)
B) Session synchronization occurs over Layer 3 by default, and if unavailable it will then try Layer 2. and D) Cluster members will upgrade one at a time and failover during firmware upgrades.
A) You can run FortiGate Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) high availability in addition to FGSP simultaneously.
C) You can selectively synchronize only specific sessions between FGSP cluster members.

Refer to the exhibit.

Given the exhibit, which two statements about FortiGate FGSP HA cluster behavior are correct? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, D

Bis correct because the OCSP check of the certificate can be combined with a certificate revocation list (CRL). This means that the FortiGate will check the OCSP server to see if the certificate has been revoked, and it will also check the CRL to see if the certificate has been revoked.

Dis correct because if the OCSP server is unreachable, authentication will succeed if the certificate matches the CA. This is because the FortiGate will fall back to using the CRL if the OCSP server is unreachable.

The other options are incorrect. Option A is incorrect because OCSP checks can go to other OCSP servers, not just the FortiAuthenticator. Option C is incorrect because OCSP certificate responses can be cached by the FortiGate.

C seems off, I thought all sessions had to sync by default.

I’m pretty confident that cluster members upgrade one at a time, but I can't remember if they failover during that process. I hope I got that right!

I think option C sounds familiar, but I’m not entirely sure if selective synchronization is a feature of FGSP. It’s a bit hazy for me.

I feel like session synchronization is important, but I can't recall if it defaults to Layer 3 or Layer 2. I hope I picked the right one!

A and C seem like the right answers. I mean, who wouldn't want to run VRRP and FGSP together? The more redundancy, the better, right? *laughs* Though I'm not sure I'd want to be the one upgrading those clusters!

I think option C is correct, as it allows you to choose which sessions to synchronize between FGSP cluster members. That's a really useful feature.
