Exam FCP_FGT_AD-7.6 topic 1 question 8 discussion

Override Enabled: MPUS (highest Monitored ports, Priority, ha Uptime, Serial nr) Override Disabled: MUPS (highest Monitored ports, ha Uptime, Priority, Serial nr) https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-FortiGate-HA-Primary-unit-selection-process-when/ta-p/249745

When HA override is enabled, the FortiGate HA election process follows this order: Connected monitored ports – The device with the most monitored interfaces up becomes primary. Priority – If monitored ports are equal, the higher priority (lower numerical value) wins. System uptime – If priority is equal, the unit with the longer uptime becomes primary. FortiGate serial number – Used as a tiebreaker if all else is equal. Why the other options are incorrect: A & C incorrectly include "HA uptime" (not a factor in the election process). D reverses Priority and System uptime, which is incorrect. Correct Answer: B

correct answer B

A is correct; check the guide on pg 495 of FCP 7.6, it says: 'If the HA override setting is enabled, the priority is considered before the HA uptime'

Ha uptime

Wrong, correct answer B , Fortigate use System Uptime, not HA uptime when override is enabled.
