What is the primary purpose of synchronizing dynamic updates (e.g., threat and URL databases) between Panorama HA peers?

To ensure the passive peer has the same protection capabilities as the active peer

To enable the passive peer to process logs independently

To allow both peers to share the same license key

To reduce bandwidth usage on the management network

A company has 20 firewalls sending logs to a Panorama log collector group with two collectors. The architect wants to ensure that if one collector fails, the other collector continues to receive logs from all firewalls without manual intervention. What is the correct design?

Configure both collectors as standalone collectors and manually redirect firewalls on failure

Configure each firewall to send logs to a different collector group

Configure both collectors in the same collector group and enable automatic failover

Configure one collector as the primary and the other as a backup in a different collector group

In a Panorama HA pair, which of the following is synchronized between the active and passive peers to ensure the passive peer is ready to take over?

Configuration, software version, and dynamic updates

How does a collector group design contribute to log collection resilience?

By storing logs on each firewall until a collector is available

By using a single high-capacity collector

By compressing logs to reduce storage requirements

By providing multiple paths for log forwarding and failover

In a Panorama HA pair, what is the role of the heartbeat link?

To provide a data path for firewall traffic

To synchronize log data between peers

To connect to the internet for dynamic updates

To monitor the health of the peer and detect failures
