My bad its part of the question
Selected Answers: A
cluster elects a new primary.
Selected Answers: D
1. Failover can be triggered by memory utilization exceeding the configured memory-failover-threshold.
2. Memory must stay above threshold for the full monitor-period (e.g. 60 seconds).
3. The check runs every memory-failover-sample-rate (default = 1 sec).
4. If memory usage > threshold continuously for that entire period → failover is triggered.
5. If a failover already occurred recently due to memory, the memory-failover-flip-timeout prevents flip-flopping.
Applying this to the scenario (observed for 55 seconds)
• The question explicitly says the outputs were observed for 55 seconds.
• Default memory-failover-monitor-period is 60 seconds.
• That means even if memory usage is above the threshold, the failover hasn’t yet triggered, because the condition wasn’t sustained for the full 60 seconds.
• So the primary is still the original FortiGate (no failover has occurred yet).
Since the memory threshold condition must persist for 60 seconds, and the admin only observed for 55 seconds, no memory-based failover has occurred yet. Therefore, HQ-NGFW-1 is still the primary, and its role is maintained because of the override setting ensuring it remains primary until an actual failover event occurs.

Answer A is correct. The configured memory failover threshold is 70%, and FW-1 is running at 90%. The monitored period is set to 50 seconds, while the question states that the admin observed the output for 55 seconds. This means FW-1 has remained above the 70% threshold for more than the configured monitoring period, while the memory usage on FW-2 is below 70%.

C. HQ-NGFW-1 with the parameter memory-failover-flip-timeout setting
bec the memory-failover-flip-timeout is 60 sec
Selected Answers: C
"If the FortiGate meets the memory usage conditions to cause failover, the failover does not occur if the last failover on that FortiGate was triggered by high memory usage within the timeout period (memory-failover-flip-timeout)."
"memory-failover-flip-timeout <integer>
The time to wait between subsequent memory based failovers, in minutes (6 - 2147483647, default = 6)."

Selected Answers: A
while set memory-failover-flip-timeout 60: A timer to prevent the cluster from "flapping" (bouncing back and forth) between units too quickly if memory levels fluctuate.
