NSE4_FGT-7.0 · Question #145
What is the primary FortiGate election process when the HA override setting is disabled?
The correct answer is B. Connected monitored ports > HA uptime > Priority > FortiGate Serial number. When the HA override setting is disabled, the FortiGate election process prioritizes the number of connected monitored ports, followed by HA uptime, then device priority, and finally the serial number as a tie-breaker.

Why each option
When the HA override setting is disabled, the FortiGate election process prioritizes the number of connected monitored ports, followed by HA uptime, then device priority, and finally the serial number as a tie-breaker.
System uptime is not used as a direct criterion in the HA election process; instead, HA uptime is the relevant factor for determining master status when override is disabled.
With HA override disabled, FortiGate's master election prioritizes the highest number of connected monitored ports, then the longest HA uptime, followed by the highest device priority, and finally the lowest serial number as the ultimate tie-breaker.
When HA override is disabled, HA uptime takes precedence over device priority in the election process, meaning a FortiGate with longer HA uptime will be elected master even if another has a higher priority.
System uptime is not a criterion for HA election, and when HA override is disabled, HA uptime is prioritized before device priority.
