You are running a R77 Security Gateway on GAiA. In case of a hardware failure, you have a
server with the exact same hardware and firewall version installed. What back up method could be
used to quickly put the secondary firewall into production?
A.
manual backup
B. upgrade_export
C.
backup
D.
snapshot
Answer should be D, since the question says “in case of a hardware failure” that means you must perform a complete restore in the second firewall and to accomplish that a snapshot must be used to restore the drivers.
D)
I think its C because it says:
“you have a server with the exact same hardware and firewall version installed”, note it says “AND FIREWALL VERSION INSTALLED” which to me suggests that they have Gai Operating System pre-installed so therefore just require a backup to be restored onto it.
Snapshot is particular to firewall running on SPLAT, on gaia, backup utility is enough to restore routing conf, dos, etc. Ans should be C.
D
Answer is D. You can use snapshots in Gaia .
