Question 197

When you configure an active/active high availability pair, which two links can you use? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: A, D

    When configuring an active/active high availability (HA) pair, you can use the HA3 link and the HA2 backup link. HA3 is used for forwarding data plane traffic, which is critical in active/active setups where both devices are actively processing traffic. The HA2 backup link provides redundancy for the HA2 link, ensuring continuous state synchronization between the devices in the event the primary HA2 link fails. Given these functionalities, these are the correct options.

Discussion
Micutzu

HA3 and HA2 backup are correct choices.

Micutzu

on PA-7000 has 2 HSCI ports (HSCI-A and HSCI-B), all the rest have only on HSCI port (if they have it). so HSCI-C it's not a valid answer. Also Console Port cannot be.

AD. HA3 and HA2 backup are correct choices.

Poorly worded question. In essence they are asking any links that can be used, ar first glance it's easy to assume they are asking what links for just A/A. HA-3/HSCI is exclusive to A/A but A/A also requires HA-1 and HA-2 also so those are the links that can be used. Of those only HA-3 and HA-2 backup are present.

Answers are A, D. Please correct choice A, as it should read HA3.

Also, the HSCI port can be used as an HA3 port on certain models, but there is no HSCI-C port. There are only HSCI-A and HSCI-B ports on the PA-7K specifically.

Odd quesiton...i read it as physical links...no such thing as HA3 physical link...you either use the HSCI or a data plane port you have changed to type HA. I guess you could argue that HA2 backup is a valid option here...if it just means the names of the HA links then yes you obviously need HA2 (no backup needed) and HA3. Poor question.
