   An administrator is setting up a FortiMail HA cluster and has configured the primary unit. When adding the secondary unit, the administrator notices that the HA status shows 'unavailable' and the units are not forming a cluster. The heartbeat link is up. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe secondary unit's management IP is in a different subnet.
   • BThe HA mode on the secondary unit does not match the primary unit's HA mode.
   • CThe virtual IP is not configured on the secondary unit.
   • DThe secondary unit has a different hostname than the primary unit.

   An administrator is configuring a FortiMail HA cluster across two data centers for disaster recovery. The primary unit is in Data Center A, and the secondary is in Data Center B. The WAN link between them has high latency. What is the most important consideration for this deployment?

   • AThe virtual IP address must be different in each data center.
   • BThe heartbeat and synchronization traffic will be affected by WAN latency, potentially causing false failovers.
   • CActive-active mode is required for cross-data-center HA.
   • DThe secondary unit must be configured with a different firmware version.

   An administrator is configuring a FortiMail HA cluster and wants to ensure that the secondary unit can take over the primary's IP address during failover. What must be configured on the cluster to allow this?

   • AA DNS A record that points to both units' IPs.
   • BA unique public IP address for each unit.
   • CA static NAT rule on the firewall for each unit.
   • DA virtual IP address that is shared between the two units.

   A FortiMail HA cluster is in active-passive mode. The active unit loses power unexpectedly. After a few minutes, the passive unit becomes active. What is the state of the cluster when the original active unit is powered back on?

   • AThe original unit rejoins the cluster as the passive unit.
   • BThe original unit automatically becomes the active unit again.
   • CThe original unit must be manually configured as a new cluster member.
   • DThe cluster remains in a degraded state until the administrator intervenes.

   A university runs FortiMail in active-active mode. During peak registration periods, email volume spikes significantly. The administrator is concerned about the ability to handle the spike and is considering whether to switch to active-passive. What is the key trade-off to consider?

   • AActive-passive provides higher capacity during spikes but loses session continuity on failover.
   • BActive-active provides lower capacity but better session continuity.
   • CActive-active provides higher capacity during spikes but may lose in-progress sessions on failover.
   • DActive-passive provides higher capacity and better session continuity.
