An engineer reviews high availability (HA) settings to understand a recent HA failover event. Review the screenshot below.
Which timer determines how long the passive firewall will wait before taking over as the active firewall after losing communications with the HA peer?
The Promotion Hold Time determines how long the passive firewall will wait before taking over as the active firewall after losing communications with the HA peer. This timer allows the passive device to ensure that the active device has indeed failed and isn't just experiencing a temporary communication glitch.
Answer is B
B is correct answer. In my exam, they asked same questions but meaning refer to "Heartbeat Interval". So must read questions carefully.
