Refer to the exhibit.

You deployed an active-passive FortiGate HA cluster using a CloudFormation template on an existing VPC. Now you want to test active-passive FortiGate HA failover by running a debug so you can see the API calls to change the Elastic and secondary IP addresses.
Which statement is correct about the output of the debug?

Which statement is correct about the output of the debug?
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
HA Event and Failover:
The debug output indicates that a failover event occurred and the secondary instance (Fgt2) is now taking over as the master.
Elastic IP Association:
The debug output shows the process of moving the Elastic IP (eipalloc-090425f83f912c8d6) to the new master instance. This involves associating the Elastic IP with the appropriate network interface (eni) of the new master.
Specific IP Address Association:
The Elastic IP is specifically associated with port1 of Fgt2. The message "associate elastic ip eipalloc-090425f83f912c8d6 to 10.0.0.13 of eni eni-0f6b35f8fccd24eb0" indicates that the Elastic IP is now linked to the primary IP address (10.0.0.13) on port1 of the new master.
Other Options Analysis:
Option A is incorrect because the routing table update details are not explicitly stated.
Option C is incorrect because the IP address association mentioned relates to an Elastic IP, not eni-0b61d8afc0aefb8a2.
Option D is incorrect because it specifically mentions port2 for the Elastic IP association, which is not indicated in the debug output.
