NSE 5 – FortiAnalyzer 7.0 — Question 30

If the primary FortiAnalyzer in an HA cluster fails, how is the new primary elected?

Answer options

• A. The firmware version is checked first.
• B. The active port number is checked first.
• C. The configured IP address is checked first.
• D. The configured priority is checked first.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because in an HA cluster, the configured priority determines which unit becomes the new primary if the current one goes down. The other options (firmware version, active port number, and configured IP address) do not play a role in the election process for the primary unit.
