In an active/active takeover configuration, the surviving controller interfaces reflect the identity of which of the following?

• A. local interfaces only
• B. failed partner interfaces only
• C. local and failed partner interfaces
• D. interfaces as defined in the /etc/rc file

Answer: (D)

In an active/active takeover, the surviving controller presents its interfaces according to the startup configuration stored on the node, namely the /etc/rc file. That file defines how physical ports map to network interfaces and which IPs or LIFs they carry. When takeover happens, the partner’s interfaces are taken over by the survivor, but their identities—names and port mappings—are determined by the surviving node’s /etc/rc. This ensures consistent interface naming and behavior across takeovers.
