Exam 156-315.80 topic 1 question 344 discussion

Actual exam question from Checkpoint's 156-315.80

Question #: 344
Topic #: 1

There are two R77.30 Security Gateways in the Firewall Cluster. They are named FW_A and FW_B. The cluster is configured to work as HA (High availability) with default cluster configuration. FW_A is configured to have higher priority than FW_B. FW_A was active and processing the traffic in the morning. FW_B was standby. Around 1100 am, its interfaces went down and this caused a failover. FW_B became active. After an hour, FW_A's interface issues were resolved and it became operational.
When it re-joins the cluster, will it become active automatically?

A. No, since 'maintain' current active cluster member' option on the cluster object properties is enabled by default.
B. No, since 'maintain' current active cluster member' option is enabled by default on the Global Properties.
C. Yes, since 'Switch to higher priority cluster member' option on the cluster object properties is enabled by default.
D. Yes, since 'Switch to higher priority cluster member' option is enabled by default on the Global Properties.

A is correct as the question said default HA configuration which is Maintain Current Active Gateway. The only way FW-A takes back control is if B fails or the configuration is manually changed. https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R76/CP_R76_ClusterXL_AdminGuide/7292.htm

Answer A IS correct on r80.40 ( SmartConsole demo tested, not sure on r80.10 though) I would image it to be the same as you don't want your cluster to start flapping all the time.
