Which high availability mode is commonly used to integrate with a traffic distributer like FortiADC?
Correct Answer:
C
In Fortinet's high availability (HA) configurations, integrating FortiWeb with a traffic distributor like FortiADC is best achieved using the Active-Active HA mode. This mode allows multiple FortiWeb appliances to operate simultaneously, distributing traffic loads and enhancing both performance and redundancy.
FortiWeb supports several HA modes:
Active-Passive: One appliance actively handles all traffic, while the other remains on standby, ready to take over if the active unit fails.
Active-Active: Multiple appliances actively process traffic concurrently, sharing the load and providing redundancy.
High Volume Active-Active: An enhanced version of Active-Active, designed for environments with exceptionally high traffic volumes.
When integrating with a traffic distributor like FortiADC, the Active-Active mode is particularly advantageous. FortiADC can intelligently distribute incoming traffic across multiple active FortiWeb appliances, optimizing resource utilization and ensuring high availability. This setup not only balances the load but also provides fault tolerance; if one appliance becomes unavailable, FortiADC can redirect traffic to the remaining active units without service interruption.
This collaborative approach between FortiWeb and FortiADC ensures that web applications remain secure, performant, and resilient against failures.
