Question 457

What is the best description of the Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min)?

The maximum interval between hello packets that are sent to verify that the HA functionality on the other firewall is operational

The maximum time that the local firewall waits before going to Active state when another cluster member is preventing the cluster from fully synchronizing

The timeframe within which the firewall must receive keepalives from a cluster member to know that the cluster member is functional

The time that a passive or active-secondary firewall will wait before taking over as the active or active-primary firewall

Correct Answer: B

The Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min) refers to the maximum time that the local firewall waits before transitioning to an Active state when synchronization within the cluster is being hindered by another member. This definition captures the core function of this timeout setting, ensuring high availability by allowing sufficient time for the cluster members to fully synchronize before the local firewall becomes active.

Definitely B Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min) —Maximum number of minutes that the local firewall waits before going to Active state when another cluster member (for example, in unknown state) is preventing the cluster from fully synchronizing (range is 0 to 30; default is 0).https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-web-interface-help/device/device-high-availability/ha-general-settings

PnosukeOption: C

C (Optional) Change the HA4 Keep-alive Threshold (ms) to specify the timeframe within which the firewall must receive keepalives from a cluster member to know that the cluster member is functional; range is 5,000 to 60,000; default is 10,000. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-0/pan-os-admin/high-availability/configure-ha-clustering

The direct quote from this linked article is, "Change Cluster Synchronization Timeout (min), which is the maximum number of minutes that the local firewall waits before going to Active state when another cluster member (for example, in unknown state) is preventing the cluster from fully synchronizing; range is 0 to 30; default is 0." This makes the answer B the correct response.
