What is the destination MAC address or addresses when packets are forwarded from the primary FortiGate to the secondary FortiGate?

Exhibit.

Refer to the exhibit, which contains an active-active toad balancing scenario.

During the traffic flow the primary FortiGate forwards the SYN packet to the secondary FortiGate.

What is the destination MAC address or addresses when packets are forwarded from the primary FortiGate to the secondary FortiGate?
A . Secondary physical MAC port1
B . Secondary virtual MAC port1
C . Secondary virtual MAC port1 then physical MAC port1
D . Secondary physical MAC port2 then virtual MAC port2

Answer: A

Explanation:

In an active-active load balancing scenario, when the primary FortiGate forwards the SYN packet to the secondary FortiGate, the destination MAC address would be the secondary’s physical MAC on port1, as the packet is being sent over the network and the physical MAC is used for layer 2 transmissions.
