FTD failover requires identical hardware/software and specific link configuration for state synchronization.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The failover link must be connected to a public-facing switch.
Why it's wrong here
Failover links should be direct or on a private management VLAN.
- ✓
The devices must use different management IP addresses.
Why this is correct
Each unit in an HA pair requires its own management IP address.
- ✗
The standby unit must have a higher priority value than the active unit.
Why it's wrong here
Lower priority values are generally preferred in many configurations, but this is not a strict requirement for health state.
- ✓
The devices must be running the exact same version of FTD software.
Why this is correct
Version parity is mandatory for HA.
- ✗
The devices must use different serial numbers.
Why it's wrong here
Serial numbers are inherent to the hardware and cannot be changed, but they don't block HA.
