FCP – FortiManager Administrator 7.4 — Question 19

In the event that one of the secondary FortiManager devices fails, which action must be performed to return the FortiManager HA manual mode to a working state?

Answer options

• A. The FortiManager HA state transition is transparent to administrators and does not require any reconfiguration.
• B. Reboot the failed device to remove its IP from the primary device.
• C. Manually promote one of the working secondary devices to the primary role, and reboot the old primary device to remove the peer IP of the failed device.
• D. Reconfigure the primary device to remove the peer IP of the failed device.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because reconfiguring the primary device to remove the peer IP of the failed device is necessary to avoid conflicts and ensure proper operation. Option A is incorrect because it implies no action is needed, which is not true in this scenario. Option B suggests rebooting the failed device, which does not address the issue with the primary device. Option C, while suggesting a valid action, does not directly answer the requirement to reconfigure the primary device.
