There are two R77.30 Security Gateways in the Firewall Cluster. They are named FW_A and FW_B. The cluster is configured to work as HA (High availability) with default cluster configuration. FW_A is configured to have higher priority than FW_B. FW_A was active and processing the traffic in the morning. FW_B was standby. Around 1100 am, its interfaces went down and this caused a failover. FW_B became active. After an hour, FW_A’s interface issues were resolved and it became operational.
When it re-joins the cluster, will it become active automatically?
A . No, since ‘maintain’ current active cluster member’ option on the cluster object properties is enabled by default.
B . No, since ‘maintain’ current active cluster member’ option is enabled by default on the Global Properties.
C . Yes, since ‘Switch to higher priority cluster member’ option on the cluster object properties is enabled by default.
D . Yes, since ‘Switch to higher priority cluster member’ option is enabled by default on the Global Properties.
