NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.2 — Question 116

When override is enabled, which option shows the process and selection criteria that is used to elect the primary FortiGate in an HA cluster?

Answer options

• A. Connected monitored ports > HA uptime > priority > serial number
• B. HA uptime > priority > Connected monitored ports > serial number
• C. Priority > Connected monitored ports > HA uptime > serial number
• D. Connected monitored ports > priority > HA uptime > serial number

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because in an HA cluster with override enabled, the election process prioritizes connected monitored ports first, followed by the priority set for each unit, then HA uptime, and finally serial number. The other options do not reflect this correct order of precedence in the election criteria.
