Question

Two FortiGate devices fail to form an HA cluster, the device hostnames are STUDENT and REMOTE. Exhibit A shows the command output of show system ha for the STUDENT device. Exhibit B shows the command output of show system ha for the REMOTE device. Exhibit A:

Exhibit B Which one of the following is the most likely reason that the cluster fails to form?

Accepted Answer

B. HA mode Exhibit A (STUDENT) shows `ha-mode: a-p` (active-passive), while Exhibit B (REMOTE) shows `ha-mode: standalone`. For two FortiGate units to form an HA cluster, they must be configured with compatible HA modes; a device in standalone mode cannot join an HA cluster.

Answer

A. Password The output for `ha-password` is not displayed in the provided exhibits, so there is no information to suggest a password mismatch.

Answer

C. Hearbeat While heartbeat interfaces are crucial for HA, the `show system ha` command output does not explicitly show any misconfigurations or failures related to heartbeat interfaces in these exhibits.

Answer

D. Override The `override` setting is visible in both exhibits and is consistent (`override: disable`), so it is not the cause of the failure.
