A site has six members in a pool. All of the servers have been designed, built, and configured with the same applications. It is known that each client's interactions vary significantly and can affect the performance of the servers. If traffic should be sent to all members on a regular basis, which load-balancing mode is most effective if the goal is to maintain a relatively even load across all servers?
A. Ratio
B. Priority
C. Observed
D. Round Robin
A site needs to terminate client HTTPS traffic at the BIG-IP and forward that traffic unencrypted. Which two are profile types that must be associated with such a virtual server? (Choose two.)
A. TCP
B. HTTP
C. HTTPS
D. ClientSSL
E. ServerSSL
Assume a virtual server has a ServerSSL profile. What SSL certificates are required on the pool members?
A. No SSL certificates are required on the pool members.
B. The pool members?SSL certificates must only exist.
C. The pool members?SSL certificates must be issued from a certificate authority.
D. The pool members?SSL certificates must be created within the company hosting the BIG-IPs.
Assume a client's traffic is being processed only by a NAT; no SNAT or virtual server processing takes place. Also assume that the NAT definition specifies a NAT address and an origin address while all other settings are left at their defaults. If the origin server were to initiate traffic via the BIG-IP, what changes, if any, would take place when the BIG-IP processes such packets?
A. The BIG-IP would drop the request since the traffic didn't arrive destined to the NAT address.
B. The source address would not change, but the destination address would be changed to the NAT address.
C. The source address would be changed to the NAT address and destination address would be left unchanged.
D. The source address would not change, but the destination address would be changed to a self- IP of the BIG-IP.
When configuring a Virtual Server to use an iRule with an HTTP_REQUEST event, which list includes the required steps in a proper order to create all necessary objects?
A. create profiles, create the iRule, create required pools, create the Virtual Server
B. create the Virtual Server, create required pools, create the iRule, edit the Virtual Server
C. create a custom HTTP profile, create required pools, create the Virtual Server, create the iRule
D. create required pools, create a custom HTTP profile, create the iRule, create the Virtual Server
Which statement is true concerning SSL termination?
A. A virtual server that has both ClientSSL and ServerSSL profiles can still support cookie persistence.
B. Decrypting traffic at the BIG-IP allows the use of iRules for traffic management, but increases the load on the pool member.
C. When any virtual server uses a ClientSSL profile, all SSL traffic sent to the BIG-IP is decrypted before it is forwarded to servers.
D. If a virtual server has both a ClientSSL and ServerSSL profile, the pool members have less SSL processing than if the virtual server had only a ClientSSL profile
A virtual server is listening at 10.10.1.100:any and has the following iRule associated with it: when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { if {[TCP::local_port] equals 80 } { pool pool1 } elseif {[TCP::local_port] equals 443 } { pool pool2 } If a user connects to 10.10.1.100 and port 22, which pool will receive the request?
A. pool1
B. pool2
C. None. The request will be dropped.
D. Unknown. The pool cannot be determined from the information provided.
Which statement is true concerning the default communication between a redundant pair of BIG-IP devices?
A. Communication between the systems cannot be effected by port lockdown settings.
B. Data for both connection and persistence mirroring are shared through the same TCP connection.
C. Regardless of the configuration, some data is communicated between the systems at regular intervals.
D. Connection mirroring data is shared through the serial fail-over cable unless network fail-over is enabled.
Assuming there are open connections through an active system's virtual servers and a fail-over occurs, by default, what happens to the connections?
A. All open connections are lost.
B. All open connections are maintained.
C. When persistence mirroring is enabled, open connections are maintained even if a fail-over occurs.
D. Long-lived connections such as Telnet and FTP are maintained, but short-lived connections such as HTTP are lost.
E. All open connections are lost, but new connections are initiated by the newly active BIG-IP, resulting in minimal client downtime.
Assuming that systems are synchronized, which action could take place if the fail-over cable is connected correctly and working properly, but the systems cannot communicate over the network due to external network problems?
A. If network fail-over is enabled, the standby system will assume the active mode.
B. Whether or not network fail-over is enabled, the standby system will stay in standby mode.
C. Whether or not network fail-over is enabled, the standby system will assume the active mode.
D. If network fail-over is enabled, the standby system will go into active mode but only until the network recovers.
