Practice question 41 of 440 · hard

Override is disabled and monitored links are equally healthy. FGT-A has HA age 800 seconds and priority 100; FGT-B has age 650 seconds and priority 200. Margin is 300 seconds. Which criterion decides between them?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.A random choice because the ages are not equal
  2. B.FGT-B's higher device priority after HA age is treated as a tie
  3. C.FGT-A's older HA age regardless of margin
  4. D.FGT-A's lower priority because smaller values win
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • FGT-B's higher device priority after HA age is treated as a tie

The 150-second age difference is below the margin, so priority is evaluated and higher wins. Age need not be exactly equal to tie; election is deterministic rather than random.
