Why each option
The FortiGate HA master unit is selected based on a default ordered criteria: port monitor status, followed by uptime, then priority, and finally the serial number.
This sequence incorrectly places priority before uptime in the FortiGate HA master selection criteria.
FortiGate High Availability (HA) master selection strictly follows the order of port monitor status (units with monitored interfaces up), then the longest uptime, then the highest priority (lowest numerical value), and finally the highest serial number.
This sequence incorrectly places priority before both uptime and port monitor status in the FortiGate HA master selection criteria.
This sequence incorrectly places uptime before port monitor status in the FortiGate HA master selection criteria.
