1Y0-231 Question #133: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• AIndependent Network Configuration (INC)
• BDifferent SNIP addresses on both nodes
• CThe HA status of the primary node as Stay Primary
• DThe same nsroot password on both nodes

Explanation

When configuring a secondary node in a Citrix ADC High Availability pair, both nodes must share the same nsroot password - this is required because HA nodes communicate and synchronize configuration with each other, and mismatched passwords will prevent the secondary from authenticating to the primary and joining the pair.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (INC): Independent Network Configuration is an optional setting used when HA nodes reside on different subnets; it's not a requirement when adding a secondary node.
• B (Different SNIP addresses): Both nodes actually require the same Subnet IP (SNIP) addresses to be configured identically, since the active node owns them and the passive node takes them over during failover.
• C (Stay Primary): Setting HA status to "Stay Primary" is a manual override to prevent unintended failover - it's not a step required during initial secondary node setup.

Memory tip: Think of the HA pair like a shared locker - both nodes need the same combination (password) to access and sync each other's state. If the passwords differ, the lock won't open and synchronization fails.
