300-710 SNCF Management And Troubleshooting Practice Question
An FTD high availability pair experiences a failover due to a hardware failure on the active unit. After the standby unit takes over, the administrator notices that existing TCP connections were dropped and did not state-fully fail over. What configuration setting should the administrator verify?
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
✓
Verify that stateful failover is enabled and the failover link interface is operational and passing state packets.
Stateful failover in FTD requires properly configured State MAC and Failover interfaces. If stateful failover is not enabled or if the failover link is down, long-lived or active TCP states are not synchronized to the standby unit.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ensure that dynamic routing protocols are configured with graceful restart.
Why it's wrong here
While graceful restart helps routing convergence, connection state tables depend on stateful failover configuration.
- ✓
Verify that stateful failover is enabled and the failover link interface is operational and passing state packets.
Why this is correct
Stateful failover requires an active, low-latency failover link to synchronize connection states between units.
- ✗
Verify that clustering is enabled instead of high availability.
Why it's wrong here
Clustering is a different architecture from active/standby high availability.
- ✗
Check that adaptive inspection is disabled in the Access Control Policy.
Why it's wrong here
Adaptive inspection affects DDoS mitigation, not stateful failover.
