should be encrypted”. Which of the following would be the best
troubleshooting step?

Your
customer reports that the time on the standby cluster member is not
correct. After failing over and making it active, the time is now
correct. NTP has been configured on both machines, so it is expected
that both machines be in sync with the NTP server. Upon investigating,
it was found that the standby member was never able to communicate with
the NTP server while it was in standby configuration. What could be the
problem?
Options are :
- You should be syncing your backup to the primary for time setting
- raffic from the standby member was hidden behind the cluster IP address and was therefore returning to the active member.
- Routing prevents the standby member from performing functions such as peering with dynamic routing and obtaining NTP updates.
- NTP is not supported in active-passive mode.
Answer : raffic from the standby member was hidden behind the cluster IP address and was therefore returning to the active member.

Your
customer has an R77 Multi-domain Management Server managing a mix of
firewalls of R70 and R77 versions. A change was made to the file
$FWDIR/lib/tables.def on one of the domains. However, it was found that
the change was not applied to the R70 firewalls. What could be the
problem?
Options are :
- To support R70, the file in the compatibility directory should have been modified.
- In order to make changes on R70 machines you need work within GuiDBedit
- Changes to the table.def can only be applied to firewalls matching the Management Server version. The customer needs to upgrade the firewalls to the same version as the firewall.
- R70 is end of life and is not supported. Most functions will work, but modifying the table.def will not.
Answer : To support R70, the file in the compatibility directory should have been modified.
