350-701 Practice Question: Designing a remote access VPN solution using…
A company is designing a remote access VPN solution using Cisco ASA with load balancing. Which three features are essential for high availability and redundancy? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Cisco often tests the distinction between features that provide redundancy (failover, clustering, object tracking) versus features that improve user experience or configuration convenience (split tunneling, AnyConnect profiles), leading candidates to mistakenly select the latter.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Failover
Failover is essential for high availability in Cisco ASA remote access VPN solutions. It allows a standby ASA to take over seamlessly if the primary unit fails, maintaining VPN sessions and ensuring uninterrupted remote access. This is achieved through stateful or stateless failover, where configuration and connection state are synchronized between the paired units.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Failover
Why this is correct
Failover provides active/standby redundancy, ensuring seamless failover if the active unit fails.
- ✓
Object tracking
Why this is correct
Object tracking monitors remote gateway reachability and triggers failover if a monitored object goes down.
- ✗
Split tunneling
Why it's wrong here
Split tunneling is a traffic optimization feature, not related to high availability.
- ✗
AnyConnect profiles
Why it's wrong here
AnyConnect profiles are client configuration files and do not provide high availability.
- ✓
Clustering
Why this is correct
Clustering allows multiple ASAs to act as a single logical unit, providing load balancing and redundancy.
