Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 226

A firewall administrator requires an A/P HA pair to fail over more quickly due to critical business application uptime requirements.
What is the correct setting?

Answer options

• A. Change the HA timer profile to "user-defined" and manually set the timers.
• B. Change the HA timer profile to "fast".
• C. Change the HA timer profile to "aggressive" or customize the settings in advanced profile.
• D. Change the HA timer profile to "quick" and customize in advanced profile.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because setting the HA timer profile to 'aggressive' or customizing advanced settings allows for the fastest failover response, which is necessary for critical applications. Options A, B, and D do not provide the same level of responsiveness expected for high availability requirements.
