Deploy and Manage Citrix ADC with Traffic Management 1Y0-241 Practice Exam

In an HA pair, when neither node is configured to stay primary or stay secondary, the system relies on an automatic failover mechanism to decide which unit becomes primary. This built-in algorithm examines the nodes’ configured priorities and, if needed, uses a deterministic tie-breaker to select the primary. This means that during a failover, there’s no need for admin reconfiguration—the system automatically assigns the primary to keep services available. The outcome is that the pair remains operational, with one node serving as primary after failover. If both nodes have different priorities, the higher-priority node will become primary; if priorities are equal, the system uses its internal tie-breaker to choose.
