Question #: 68
Topic #: 9
[All 156-215.81 Questions]

John is using Management H

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The SmartCenter that should be connected to for making changes is the active SmartCenter. The active SmartCenter is the one that is currently synchronizing its configuration with the secondary SmartCenter and handling the communication with the gateways . The primary SmartCenter is the one that was initially configured as the main server, but it may become inactive if a failover occurs. The virtual IP of SmartCenter HA is used to access the SmartConsole, not to make changes.

I'm a little confused by the options here. Is there a difference between the active and primary Smartcenter? I'll have to think this through carefully.
