Exam 300-710 topic 1 question 222 discussion

virtual mac isn't for failover link

my answer are B and E

You cannot configure VMAC on a Failover Link

Should be B. Configure the failover link with stateful properties. D. Ensure the high availability license is enabled.

The key "After the initial configuration of the two appliances, which two steps must be taken to proceed with the redundancy configuration" The fisrt steps are " Configure the failover link with stateful properties. " So the answers are A & E https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/firepower-management-center/212699-configure-ftd-high-availability-on-firep.html

Only B and E make sense here. there is no vMAC on failover link

The two steps that must be taken to proceed with the redundancy configuration between two Cisco FTD devices are: B. Configure the failover link with stateful properties. E. Configure the standby IP addresses.

A&E is OK. "Step 4. Configure the Data interfaces (primary and standby IP addresses)" "Step 10. Stay on the High Availability tab and configure Virtual MAC addresses" https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/firepower-management-center/212699-configure-ftd-high-availability-on-firep.html

It´s B&E

Its B and E, you dont configure the virtual MAC on the failover link but on the link to the network (just as you dont configure HSRP standy Ips on the network IF not on the router to router IF)
