What is the primary purpose of ASA clustering?

To provide active/standby failover with stateful session preservation

To allow load balancing of inbound traffic across multiple interfaces

To enable multiple context mode on a single ASA

To group multiple ASAs into a single logical device for scalability and high availability

What is a common method to manage an ASA cluster?

Using the CLI on the master only

Using ASDM to manage the cluster as a single device

Using ASDM to manage each member individually

Using SNMP to poll each member separately

What is the purpose of interface monitoring in ASA active/standby failover?

To monitor the CPU and memory usage of the active unit

To monitor the throughput of the data plane

To monitor the physical link status of all interfaces

To monitor the number of VPN tunnels

What does stateful failover in ASA active/standby provide?

Synchronization of connection tables and state information

Load balancing of traffic between active and standby

Replication of the running configuration to the standby unit

Automatic IP address change on failover

What is a prerequisite for ASA active/active failover?

The ASA must have at least two data interfaces

The ASA must be in multiple context mode

The ASA must have a clustering license
