NSE 7 – Network Security Architect — Question 29

Two independent FortiGate HA clusters are connected to the same broadcast domain. The administrator has reported that both clusters are using the same HA virtual MAC address. This creates a duplicated MAC address problem in the network. What HA setting must be changed in one of the HA clusters to fix the problem?

Answer options

• A. Group ID.
• B. Group name.
• C. Session pickup.
• D. Gratuitous ARPs.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Changing the Group ID in one of the HA clusters will generate a unique HA virtual MAC address, thus resolving the duplication issue. The Group name, Session pickup, and Gratuitous ARPs settings do not affect the MAC address assignment and will not solve the problem.
