NSE 5 – FortiManager 7.0 — Question 25

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

Answer options

• A. 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.
• B. The FortiManager HA state transition is transparent to administrators and does not require any reconfiguration.
• C. Reconfigure the primary device to remove the peer IP of the failed device.
• D. Reboot the failed device to remove its IP from the primary device.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because reconfiguring the primary device to remove the peer IP of the failed device is essential for ensuring proper communication and functionality within the HA setup. Option A is incorrect because manually promoting a secondary device is not necessary when the primary needs reconfiguration. Option B is misleading as there are configurations that need to be made post-failure. Option D is not the right approach, as rebooting the failed device does not resolve the configuration issue on the primary device.
