The correct answers are A and B. In an SRX chassis cluster, the cluster ID identifies the chassis cluster itself, while the node ID identifies the individual SRX device inside that two-node cluster. Juniper states that a cluster is identified by a cluster-id value from 1 through 255, and that setting the cluster ID to 0 is equivalent to disabling clustering. Therefore, option A is correct and option C is wrong.
Option B is also correct because Juniper states that a cluster node is identified by a node ID specified as a number from 0 through 1. A normal SRX chassis cluster has two nodes: node0 and node1. The two devices must use the same nonzero cluster ID so they belong to the same cluster, but each device must use a different node ID so Junos can apply node-specific configuration, interface numbering, redundancy-group ownership, and management settings correctly. Option D is wrong because node IDs do not range from 1 through 255; that range applies to cluster IDs, not node IDs.
