How does a standby node handle a write request from a client?

It forwards the request to the active node.

It stores the request in a queue for later processing.

It rejects the request with an error.

It processes the request locally and syncs the result later.

What is a characteristic of standby nodes in a Vault HA cluster?

They periodically synchronize data with the active node via a peer-to-peer protocol.

They maintain a separate copy of the data independent of the storage backend.

They are only used for disaster recovery and cannot serve any requests.

They can serve read-only requests if configured to do so.

A Vault HA cluster is configured with three nodes. The operator notices that the api_addr on one node is set to the loopback address (127.0.0.1). What is the impact?

The node will not be able to participate in leader election.

The node will automatically correct the api_addr to its public IP.

Clients connecting to that node will be redirected to the active node, but the redirect will point to 127.0.0.1, causing connection failures.

The node will not be able to forward requests to the active node.
