What is the primary purpose of HA synchronization in a FortiManager HA pair?

To distribute management load between the two units

To allow both units to manage different sets of FortiGate devices

To ensure the secondary unit has the same configuration and session data so it can take over without manual intervention

To provide a backup of the FortiManager configuration for disaster recovery

A large enterprise runs FortiManager in active-passive HA. The primary unit is located in a data center in the US, and the secondary is in a data center in Europe. The network link between the two sites has high latency. The administrator notices that configuration changes made on the primary are not reflected on the secondary in a timely manner. What is the best way to improve the synchronization performance?

Increase the synchronization interval to reduce the frequency of updates.

Switch to active-active mode to allow both units to handle changes independently.

Move the secondary unit to the same data center as the primary to reduce latency.

Use a dedicated, high-bandwidth, low-latency link for HA synchronization.

An administrator is setting up a new FortiManager HA pair. The administrator wants to ensure that the secondary unit has a complete copy of the configuration database before it can take over. What should the administrator do?

Enable HA on the secondary and let it synchronize automatically.

Wait for the initial synchronization to complete before enabling HA on the secondary.

Use a backup and restore to copy the configuration database to the secondary.

Manually copy the configuration database from the primary to the secondary.

A FortiManager administrator is managing a FortiGate cluster. The cluster members are in active-passive mode. The administrator wants to upgrade the firmware on both cluster members to the same version. What should the administrator do?

Use FortiManager's firmware upgrade feature to upgrade both cluster members to the same version.

Upgrade the active member first, then the passive member.

Disable HA on the cluster, upgrade each member, and then re-enable HA.

Upgrade the passive member first, then the active member.

What is the role of FortiManager in firmware synchronization for a FortiGate cluster?

It prevents firmware upgrades on cluster members to avoid downtime

It only monitors firmware versions but does not upgrade them

It requires each cluster member to be upgraded individually

It allows the administrator to upgrade firmware on all cluster members simultaneously
