Refer to the exhibit.
If the monitored interface for the primary FortiManager device fails, what must you do to maintain
high availability (HA)?

Option A. saw this type in a practice exam before and HA failover is just automatic if config is good.
A, I remember a similar question from labs and it's always automatic unless HA config is broken.
B , but only if there's some split-brain or the heartbeat link also fails. The question doesn't mention that, so maybe A is still right. I've seen edge cases on exams where manual promotion is needed, though.
Probably A, unless they mention the cluster is misconfigured or heartbeat fails too. Edge case would flip it.
A tbh. Normally FortiManager HA is designed to auto fail over when a monitored interface goes down, no admin actions needed. Only exception would be if the HA config itself is messed up or there's a rare cluster sync issue, but that's not mentioned here. Always seen A as correct in these types of questions, but not 100% sure if some weird scenario could pop up.
A over B here since FortiManager HA is built for hands-off failover if a monitored interface fails. Manual promotion (B) feels like a red herring unless HA is misconfigured, which the question doesn't say. Pretty sure it's A but if anyone's seen different in production let me know.
A is right. FortiManager HA failover happens automatically when a monitored interface fails-no need for manual promotion or config changes unless the cluster itself is malfunctioning. Pretty sure that's what they're after here, but open to other opinions if you see it differently.
A no extra steps needed, FortiManager HA does automatic failover when a monitored interface fails.
C is wrong, it's A. FortiManager HA handles failover automatically if a monitored interface fails, so you don't have to do anything unless there's some config problem (which isn't mentioned). Pretty sure that's what the question wants here. If I'm missing a weird HA scenario let me know.
A (not C). . Automatic HA failover covers this, nothing manual required in normal scenarios.
