NSE 4 – FortiGate 5.4 — Question 43

Which of the following sequences describes the correct order of criteria used for the selection of a master unit within a FortiGate high availability (HA) cluster when override is disabled?

Answer options

• A. 1. port monitor, 2. unit priority, 3. up time, 4. serial number.
• B. 1. port monitor, 2. up time, 3. unit priority, 4. serial number.
• C. 1. unit priority, 2. up time, 3. port monitor, 4. serial number.
• D. 1. up time, 2. unit priority, 3. port monitor, 4. serial number.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as it accurately represents the order of criteria: first considering the port monitor, then the up time, followed by unit priority, and finally the serial number. Options A, C, and D do not follow this sequence, thus making them incorrect for the selection process in a FortiGate HA cluster when override is disabled.
