What are two characteristics of HA cluster heartbeat IP addresses in a FortiGate device? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. Heartbeat IP addresses are used to distinguish between cluster members. D. A change in the heartbeat IP address happens when a FortiGate device joins or leaves the. The FGCP uses link-local IPv4 addresses (see RFC 3927) in the 169.254.0.x range for the virtual HA heartbeat interface (port_ha) and for the inter-VDOM link interfaces between the vsys_ha and management VDOM. When members join an HA cluster, each member's heartbeat interface…
Question
What are two characteristics of HA cluster heartbeat IP addresses in a FortiGate device? (Choose two.)
Options

Explanation
The FGCP uses link-local IPv4 addresses (see RFC 3927) in the 169.254.0.x range for the virtual HA heartbeat interface (port_ha) and for the inter-VDOM link interfaces between the vsys_ha and management VDOM. When members join an HA cluster, each member's heartbeat interface (port_ha) is assigned an IP address from the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.0.63/26. HA inter- VDOM link interfaces (havdlink0 and havdlink1) are assigned IP address from the range of 169.254.0.65 to 169.254.0.66/26. The IP address that is assigned to a virtual heartbeat interface depends on the serial number priority of the member. Higher serial numbers have a higher priority, and therefore a lower serialno_prio number.
