NGFW-ENGINEER Question #9: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A: To forward packets to the HA peer during session setup and asymmetric traffic flow. The HA3 interface, a Layer 2 link using MAC-in-MAC encapsulation, enables packet forwarding between active/active firewalls to handle asymmetric routing and ensure proper session setup when traffic arrives at the non-owner peer.

High Availability (HA) Configuration

Question

In an active/active high availability (HA) configuration with two PA-Series firewalls, how do the firewalls use the HA3 interface?

Options

  • ATo forward packets to the HA peer during session setup and asymmetric traffic flow
  • BTo exchange hellos, heartbeats, HA state information, and management plane synchronization
  • CTo synchronize sessions, forwarding tables, IPSec security associations, and ARP tables
  • DTo perform session cache synchronization among all HA peers having the same cluster ID

Explanation

The HA3 interface, a Layer 2 link using MAC-in-MAC encapsulation, enables packet forwarding between active/active firewalls to handle asymmetric routing and ensure proper session setup when traffic arrives at the non-owner peer.
