Palo Alto Networks Exam PCNSE Topic 7 Question 107 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's PCNSE exam

Question #: 107
Topic #: 7

An administrator configures a preemptive active-passive high availability (HA) pair of firewalls and configures the HA election settings on firewall-02 with a device priority value of 100, and firewall-01 with a device priority value of 90.

When firewall-01 is rebooted, is there any action taken by the firewalls?

ANo - Neither firewall takes any action because firewall-01 cannot be rebooted when configured with device priority of 90.

BNo - Neither firewall takes any action because firewall-02 is already the active-primary member.

CYes - Firewall-02 takes over as the active-primary firewall; firewall-01 takes over as the active-primary member after it becomes functional.

DYes - Firewall-02 takes over as the active-primary firewall; firewall-02 remains the active-primary member after firewall-01 becomes functional.

Haha, these firewalls are like a game of musical chairs. Rebooting one of them is like calling 'last one standing wins!'

But what if firewall-01 comes back online, wouldn't it become the active-primary member again?

I'm not so sure. Isn't it supposed to be D? Firewall-02 takes over and remains the active-primary member even after firewall-01 comes back online.

Yeah, I agree with Cathrine. The question states that firewall-02 has a higher device priority, so it should take over when firewall-01 is rebooted.

Hmm, it seems like the answer is C. Firewall-02 takes over as the active-primary firewall, and then firewall-01 takes over after it becomes functional.
