What is required to correct a VPN cluster configuration that failed to form on a Cisco ASA?

Define the maximum allowable number of VPN connections
Define the master/slave relationship
Enable load balancing
Configure the cluster IP address

The correct answer is: Configure the cluster IP address

To correct a VPN cluster configuration that failed to form on a Cisco ASA, configuring the cluster IP address is crucial. In a typical cluster setup, a cluster IP address acts as a single point of entry for clients connecting to the VPN. The VPN clients will use this address to access the cluster, which then distributes the connections to the various member devices within the cluster. An improperly defined or missing cluster IP address will prevent clients from establishing a connection, as they would have no valid point to reach. This can disrupt the functionality of the VPN service as a whole, making it essential for the cluster configuration to be correct and complete. The other options, while relevant to VPN configurations, do not directly address the cluster formation issue. For example, defining the master/slave relationship and enabling load balancing are aspects of clustering behavior but do not directly resolve the inability to form a VPN cluster. Similarly, defining the maximum allowable number of VPN connections pertains to connection capacities rather than the formation of the cluster itself. Thus, setting the correct cluster IP address is the definitive step necessary to enable the functionality of the VPN cluster.
