Question 970
A centralized security team is assigned to determine whether the HA backup has lost contact with the primary. Which FortiManager approach should be selected?
Explanation
Correct Answer
FortiManager HA heartbeat state fits this operational requirement: determine whether the HA backup has lost contact with the primary. The implementation begins by ensuring that administrators inspect heartbeat reception and the cluster-status indicator at System Settings HA; success is confirmed when the expected peer heartbeat is received and cluster status is Up.
Incorrect Answers
FortiManager HA synchronization counters is suited to a different task: prove central policy data replication before depending on a standby for recovery. It does not directly meet the specified goal to determine whether the HA backup has lost contact with the primary; selecting it would address a different management function.
FortiManager primary and secondary roles is suited to a different task: provide a recoverable manager control plane using a primary appliance and backup units. It does not directly meet the specified goal to determine whether the HA backup has lost contact with the primary; selecting it would address a different management function.
FortiManager manual HA takeover is suited to a different task: recover manager operations after primary failure where manual failover is configured. It does not directly meet the specified goal to determine whether the HA backup has lost contact with the primary; selecting it would address a different management function.
