A FortiNAC HA pair is experiencing frequent failovers. The administrator checks the HA status and sees that the active unit's heartbeat is intermittently lost. What is the most likely cause?

The active unit is overloaded with too many endpoints.

The active unit's clock is not synchronized with the standby.

The standby unit is not configured with the same HA password.

The HA link is congested or has high latency.

During a FortiNAC HA failover, what is the first step that occurs?

The standby unit detects the failure and initiates the transition

The standby unit takes over the active role

The configuration is re-synchronized from the active to the standby

A large enterprise is deploying FortiNAC to manage 100,000 endpoints across multiple sites. They want to use HA for load balancing and high availability. They have a budget for four FortiNAC appliances. Which configuration best meets their needs?

Four active units in an N+0 configuration.

Two active units and two standby units in an N+M configuration.

One active unit and three standby units in an N+3 configuration.

Three active units and one standby unit in an N+1 configuration.

During a planned maintenance, an administrator manually triggers a failover in a FortiNAC HA pair. After the failover, the former active unit is now the standby. What should the administrator verify to confirm the role transition is complete?

The new active unit has a different hostname than the old active unit.

The standby unit has been powered off.

The new active unit has the same MAC address as the old active unit.

The HA status shows the new active unit as 'active' and the former active unit as 'standby'.

In FortiNAC HA, how can load balancing be achieved?

By distributing traffic based on the source IP address

By using multiple active units that share the processing load

By using a round-robin DNS server

By having the standby unit process half of the requests
