What is the purpose of active/passive HA in a campus network design?

To allow both devices to share the load for better performance.

To provide redundancy with minimal configuration complexity.

To eliminate the need for a backup device.

To double the available bandwidth for all users.

A large enterprise has two WAN connections to the internet from its headquarters. The enterprise runs a mix of stateful and stateless applications. The network team wants to implement HA to ensure high availability. The team is considering active/active and active/passive designs. What is the primary trade-off between the two designs?

Active/active provides faster failover than active/passive in all cases

Active/passive is always more reliable than active/active

Active/active provides better resource utilization but requires more complex state synchronization, while active/passive is simpler but leaves resources idle

Active/active is always more expensive than active/passive

What is the defining characteristic of an active/active high availability (HA) design?

Only one device is powered on, with the other powered off until needed.

Devices alternate between active and standby states based on a schedule.

One device handles all traffic while the other remains in a standby state.

All devices in the HA pair are actively processing traffic and sharing the load.

How does active/active HA differ from active/passive HA in terms of resource utilization?

Active/passive utilizes both devices, while active/active leaves one idle.

Both designs utilize all devices equally.

Active/active utilizes both devices, while active/passive leaves one device idle.

Resource utilization is the same in both designs.

What is a common failover trigger in an active/passive HA design?

A scheduled maintenance window.

Loss of heartbeat between the active and passive devices.

An increase in traffic load on the active device.

A configuration change on the passive device.
