Fortinet NSE8_812 Exam - Topic 6 Question 35 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE8_812 exam
Question #: 35
Topic #: 6
[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: D

When FortiAuthenticator operates in cluster mode, it provides active-passive failover and synchronization of all configuration and data, including FSSO sessions, between the cluster members. Therefore, if FAC1 is the active unit and FAC2 is the standby unit, any FSSO sessions from FAC1 will be synchronized to FAC2. If FAC1 fails, FAC2 will take over the active role and continue to process the FSSO sessions.

No way, FAC2 can be on a different network? That’s surprising!

I vaguely remember something about FSSO sessions being synchronized, but I can't remember if that's a standard feature in HA setups.

The FortiToken license definitely needs to be on both units, right? I feel like that was emphasized in our last review session.

I think I saw a practice question about HA interfaces being on different networks. It might be possible, but I can't recall the specifics.

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

Based on my understanding of FortiAuthenticator HA, I believe the answer is D. The HA cluster will synchronize all relevant data, including FSSO sessions, between the members.

I'm a bit confused about the HA interface network requirement. Does option B mean FAC2 can be on a different network than FAC1, or does it have to be on the same network?

I think the correct answer is D. The question states that FAC2 will be joining the HA cluster with FAC1, so the FSSO sessions should be synchronized between the two members.

Okay, the key information here is that FAC1 is already part of an HA cluster. So the next FAC2 member that joins should be able to process requests and synchronize FSSO sessions, right?

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The route with the longest AS path is 65200 65400 65300, but it has the highest local preference of 150. The other two routes have a local preference of 100, so I think the first route will be selected.
