Fortinet Exam NSE6_WCS-7.0 Topic 2 Question 7 Discussion
Topic #: 2
An administrator has been asked to deploy an active-passive (A-P) FortiGate cluster in the AWS cloud across two availability zones.
In addition to enhanced redundancy, which other major difference is there compared to deploying A-P high availability in the same availability zone?
Enhanced Redundancy:
Deploying an active-passive (A-P) FortiGate cluster across two availability zones (AZs) provides enhanced redundancy by ensuring that if one AZ fails, the other can take over, maintaining high availability and uptime.
IP Addressing and Subnetting:
One of the major differences when deploying across different AZs compared to the same AZ is that IP addressing and subnetting are not shared between the instances. Each AZ operates independently with its own set of subnets and IP addresses, which must be managed separately (Option D).
Other Options Analysis:
Option A is incorrect because the FortiGate devices in an A-P setup do not act as a single logical instance; they operate in a failover setup.
Option B is incorrect because secondary IP address configuration is used in both single AZ and multi-AZ deployments.
Option C is incorrect because the number of subnets required is typically more when deploying across multiple AZs for redundancy.
