What happens to the traffic when a failover occurs in an active/passive HA cluster?

Traffic is dropped until the primary node recovers.

Traffic is rerouted to a different cluster.

The secondary node becomes active and takes over processing of traffic.

Traffic is temporarily paused and then resumes on the primary node.

An administrator is configuring a new HA cluster on two SRX devices. They have connected the two devices with two dedicated interfaces: one for cluster control and one for data forwarding between nodes. The control link is used for heartbeat and configuration synchronization. What is the primary purpose of the fabric link in this setup?

To provide a backup path for the control link if it fails.

To carry heartbeat messages and cluster state information.

To synchronize configuration and session tables between nodes.

To forward data traffic between the two nodes when one node receives traffic destined for the other node's interface.

A company deploys a pair of SRX Series devices in an active/passive HA cluster to protect a critical segment. The network team notices that during a failover, the new primary node takes several seconds to begin forwarding traffic because it must rebuild its session table from scratch. They want to minimize this interruption. What should they do?

Configure the cluster to use active/active mode instead.

Enable session synchronization on the cluster so the backup node maintains a copy of active sessions.

Set the backup node to be ineligible for failover.

Increase the failover hold-down timer to give the backup more time to initialize.

Part of the High Availability (HA) Clustering domain, which makes up ~14% of our current practice bank. Juniper Networks does not publish an official question count, but from its 90-minute exam (~35–60 total, ~5–8 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 29 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
