What do HA priority settings determine?

HA priority settings determine which device will become the primary device within a High Availability (HA) cluster. Each device in the HA setup can be configured with a priority value, and the device with the highest priority is selected as the primary. This selection is crucial because the primary device is responsible for managing traffic and services, ensuring that operations continue smoothly even if one of the devices in the cluster goes down.

The priority settings are fundamental in maintaining a reliable and efficient network environment. When configuring HA, it is important to thoughtfully assign these priorities based on the capabilities and roles of each device.

Other aspects, such as failover time, synchronization speed, or licensing, are influenced by various factors and configurations within the HA setup, but they do not directly stem from HA priority settings.
