NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 36

Which election criterion is used to elect the primary FortiGate in a high availability (HA) cluster when override is enabled?

Answer options

• A. uptime > priority > port monitor > serial number
• B. port monitor > uptime > priority >serial number
• C. priority > port monitor >uptime >serial number
• D. port monitor > priority > uptime >serial number

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is D because in an HA cluster with override enabled, the election process evaluates the port monitor first, followed by priority, uptime, and finally the serial number. Options A, B, and C do not follow this specific order, making them incorrect for this scenario.
