Which command ensures the Primary Citrix ADC stays PRIMARY in the HA Node settings?

• A. Set the Primary Citrix ADC to STAY PRIMARY in the Configure HA Node settings.
• B. Set the Secondary Citrix ADC to STAY SECONDARY in the Configure HA Node settings.
• C. Enable HA monitoring on all interfaces of the PRIMARY device.
• D. Enable HA monitoring on all interfaces of the SECONDARY device.

Answer: (A)

In Citrix ADC high availability, you can pin the roles of the two nodes so a preferred unit stays in its designated role. Setting the Primary Citrix ADC to STAY PRIMARY in the Configure HA Node settings tells the pair to keep the primary as the primary as long as it is healthy and reachable. This prevents unnecessary role flips during reboots, re-alignments, or recoveries, helping maintain session continuity and reduce client disruption.

The other options don’t achieve this pinning of the primary role. Enabling HA monitoring on interfaces is about detecting faults to trigger failover, not about maintaining the primary role. Setting the secondary to stay secondary would not guarantee the primary remains primary and can complicate role decisions during recovery.
