   An administrator needs to deploy a FortiMail HA solution that minimizes complexity and ensures that only one unit is active at a time, with the standby unit taking over only if the active unit fails. Which HA mode should the administrator choose?

   • ARedundant mode, because it duplicates all traffic to both units for maximum reliability
   • BCluster mode, because it automatically load balances traffic across all units
   • CActive-passive mode, because it designates one unit as primary and the other as standby, with failover occurring only on failure
   • DActive-active mode, because it provides the highest level of redundancy

   A FortiMail HA cluster is running in active-passive mode. The active unit experiences a hardware failure and stops responding. What happens to email traffic and the cluster state?

   • AThe passive unit remains passive, and the administrator must manually promote it via the CLI.
   • BThe passive unit detects the failure via heartbeat and becomes active, taking over the virtual IP and processing mail.
   • CEmail traffic is queued on the network until the active unit is repaired and comes back online.
   • DThe cluster splits into two independent units, and each processes half of the mail.

   An administrator is setting up a FortiMail HA cluster and needs to ensure that the two units can communicate for heartbeat and synchronization. Which network requirement is essential?

   • BBoth units must be on the same public IP address.
   • CA DNS server that resolves the hostnames of both units.

   • BDifferent cluster passwords to verify mutual authentication
   • CA unique cluster password and the same HA mode
   • DA dedicated HA heartbeat interface on only the primary unit
