Practice question 40 of 440 · hard

Both units have healthy monitored links and override disabled. FGT-A's HA age is 900 seconds and priority 100; FGT-B's age is 400 seconds and priority 200. The age margin is 300 seconds. Which unit is preferred?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.FGT-B because the lower HA age is preferred
  2. B.Neither unit because their priorities differ
  3. C.FGT-A because its significant HA-age advantage is considered before priority
  4. D.FGT-B because priority is always considered first
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • FGT-A because its significant HA-age advantage is considered before priority

With override disabled, the 500-second HA-age difference exceeds the margin and favors the older HA member. Priority is later, lower age is not preferred, and differing priorities do not prevent election.
