NSE 5 – FortiManager 6.0 — Question 18

In the event that the primary FortiManager fails, which of the following actions must be performed to return the FortiManager HA to a working state?

Answer options

• A. Secondary device with highest priority will automatically be promoted to the primary role, and manually reconfigure all other secondary devices to point to the new primary device
• B. Reboot one of the secondary devices to promote it automatically to the primary role, and reconfigure all other secondary devices to point to the new primary device.
• C. Manually promote one of the secondary devices to the primary role, and reconfigure all other secondary devices to point to the new primary device.
• D. FortiManager HA state transition is transparent to administrators and does not require any reconfiguration.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it accurately describes the process of manually promoting a secondary device to the primary role and reconfiguring others accordingly. Option A is incorrect since promotion happens automatically without manual intervention. Option B suggests rebooting a secondary device, which isn't necessary, and D incorrectly states that no reconfiguration is required after a failure.
