Practice question 43 of 440 · hard

FGT-A has priority 255 but a failed monitored production interface. FGT-B has priority 100 and healthy monitored interfaces. Override is enabled. What is the correct prediction?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.FGT-A remains preferred because 255 overrides link health
  2. B.Neither member can forward until all priorities match
  3. C.The heartbeat-interface priority alone chooses FGT-A
  4. D.FGT-B is preferred because monitored-link health precedes priority
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • FGT-B is preferred because monitored-link health precedes priority

Monitored-interface health is evaluated before device priority even with override enabled. Matching device priorities is unnecessary, and heartbeat-path preference is not a substitute for primary election criteria.
