Exam 300-710 topic 1 question 204 discussion

The correct order of steps to aggregate the capacity of two Cisco FTD devices using Cisco FMC is: C. Configure the Cisco FTD interfaces, add members to FMC, configure cluster members in FMC, and create cluster in Cisco FMC.

D is the answer

Correct answer here is (D). Just refer to question's #246 correct answer. After you add the FTD members into FMC the left clustering configuration is adding the HA pair.

Horrible question. Example of why I am letting my certs expire after this. I don't care if my company is willing to pay.

Workflow This workflow uses Firepower Chassis Manager on FXOS and FMC for the FTD to complete your clustering deployment. Procedure Step 1 FXOS tasks: FXOS: Configure Interfaces. Configure one management and all data interfaces that you intend to assign to the FTD. The cluster interface is defined by default as Port-Channel 48, but for inter-chassis clustering, you need to add member interfaces. For multi-instance clustering, you can add VLAN subinterfaces to the cluster EtherChannel as well. FXOS: Add a Resource Profile for Container Instances. Create a Threat Defense Cluster. Add More Cluster Nodes Step 2 FMC tasks: Management Center: Add a Cluster. Management Center: Configure Cluster, Data, and Diagnostic Interfaces. The management interface was pre-configured when you deployed the cluster. Step 3 FXOS and/or FMC tasks: Management Center: Manage Cluster Members.

In Chassis manager, you (STEP1) config the interfaces, create the cluster and add nodes, then you (STEP2) switch to FMC to add the units to FMC and build the cluster there. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/fxos/clustering/ftd-4100-9300-cluster.html#task_tqm_ghj_qgb

D. Is correct https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/fxos/clustering/ftd-4100-9300-cluster.html#task_06578AF798574CEEA9CB7CD6D2373E6B

A is the correct answer because this is the correct order of steps to configure a cluster with Cisco FTD devices and Cisco FMC. First, you need to add the Cisco FTD devices as members to the Cisco FMC. Then, you need to configure the interfaces on the Cisco FTD devices, which includes configuring them for clustering. After that, you need to create the cluster in Cisco FMC, which will group the devices together. Finally, you need to configure the cluster members in Cisco FMC, which includes specifying the primary and secondary devices, as well as other cluster settings.
