Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Set management IP, then configure cluster mode, then create local users, then configure uplink ports, then verify connectivity.

Initial FI setup involves IP assignment, cluster mode, user creation, uplink config, and verification.

Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Set management IP, then configure cluster mode, then create local users, then configure uplink ports, then verify connectivity.
Why this is correct
This is the correct sequence because the FI must have a management IP before joining a cluster, cluster mode must be configured before adding users (cluster synchronization), user accounts are needed for administrative access before configuring uplinks, and finally verification ensures everything works.
✗
Configure uplink ports, then set management IP, then configure cluster mode, then create local users, then verify connectivity.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because uplink ports cannot be configured without a management IP and cluster mode; the FI needs basic network configuration first.
✗
Create local users, then set management IP, then configure cluster mode, then configure uplink ports, then verify connectivity.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because user accounts should be created after cluster mode is established to ensure accounts are synchronized across the cluster; performing it before may cause inconsistency.
✗
Set management IP, then create local users, then configure cluster mode, then configure uplink ports, then verify connectivity.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because cluster mode should be configured before creating local users to allow user database synchronization; otherwise, users created before clustering may be lost or duplicated.
