AConfiguration of asymmetric routing

BAssignment of identical licenses and subscriptions

CDeployment on a different host

DDeployment on same type of hypervisor

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, D

For deploying VM-Series firewalls in high availability (HA), it is crucial to ensure that both firewalls in the HA pair have identical licenses and subscriptions to ensure feature parity and uninterrupted service during failover. Additionally, both firewalls must be deployed on the same type of hypervisor to ensure compatibility and proper synchronization of state and configurations between the active and passive units.
