Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The link must be configured with OSPF.
Why it's wrong here
The failover link is a direct L2/L3 connection, not for routing protocols.
- ✗
The link must be on the same subnet as the management interface.
Why it's wrong here
Management and failover should be on separate networks.
- ✗
The link must be at least 1Gbps.
Why it's wrong here
Bandwidth depends on traffic, not a fixed 1Gbps minimum.
- ✓
The link must have low latency for heartbeat messages.
Why this is correct
Latency can cause false failover triggers.
- ✓
The link should be a dedicated physical connection.
Why this is correct
Dedicated links prevent traffic contention from disrupting HA.
