Question 284

What best describes the HA Promotion Hold Time?

the time that the passive firewall will wait before taking over as the active firewall after communications with the HA peer have been lost

the time that is recommended to avoid a failover when both firewalls experience the same link/path monitor failure simultaneously

the time that is recommended to avoid an HA failover due to the occasional flapping of neighboring devices

the time that a passive firewall with a low device priority will wait before taking over as the active firewall it the firewall is operational again

Correct Answer: C

The HA Promotion Hold Time primarily serves to prevent unnecessary failovers caused by transient issues like the occasional flapping of neighboring devices. This allows the system to maintain stability by not immediately switching roles due to brief or transient connectivity issues, ensuring that only persistent and significant issues trigger a failover.
