Question

Which statement about High Availability timer settings is true?

Options

  • AUse the Moderate timer for typical failover timer settings.
  • BUse the Critical timer for taster failover timer settings.
  • CUse the Recommended timer tor faster failover timer settings.
  • DUse the Aggressive timer for taster failover timer settings

Explanation

PAN-OS provides three HA timer presets to simplify configuration: 'Recommended' uses balanced timer values suitable for most production environments, 'Aggressive' uses shorter intervals for faster failure detection and failover (at the cost of increased sensitivity to transient issues), and 'Advanced' allows full manual customization of individual timers. There is no 'Moderate' preset (eliminating A) and no 'Critical' or 'Recommended' preset described as 'faster' (eliminating B and C). The Aggressive timer profile is the correct choice when the goal is faster failover, accepting the trade-off of potentially more false positives due to tighter thresholds.
