• Vendor: F5
• Version: V13.25

Question 1

• A BIG-IP Administrator is conducting maintenance on one BIG-IP appliance in an HA Pair.

• To terminate existing connections to Virtual Servers and prevent the appliance from becoming active.

Question 2

• When upgrading a BIG-IP redundant pair, what happens when one system has been updated but the other has not?
• The first system to be updated will assume the Active role.

Question 3

• A BIG-IP Administrator is performing maintenance on the active device of an HA pair.
• What should the BIG-IP Administrator do to start the maintenance activity?
• Force the BIG-IP device to standby.

Question 4

• A site would like to ensure that a given web server's default page is being served correctly prior to sending it client traffic.
• What would the member status be if it sent an unexpected response to the GET request?
• The pool member would be marked offline (red).

Question 5

• (Refer to the exhibit)
• (Content missing from the document)

Question 6

• Which event is always triggered when a client initially connects to a virtual server configured with an HTTP profile?
• CLIENT_ACCEPTED

Question 7

• Assuming other failover settings are at their default state, what would occur if the failover cable were to be disconnected for five seconds and then reconnected?
• When the cable is disconnected, both systems will become active. When the voltage is restored, unit two will revert to standby mode.

Question 8

• System > Configuration

Question 19

• Given that VLAN failsafe is enabled on the external VLAN and the network that the active BIG-IP's external VLAN is connected to has failed, which statement is always true about the results?
• The active system will note the failure in the HA table.

Question 20

• Least Connections (Node).

Question 21

• A standard virtual server has been associated with a pool with multiple members.
• Which statement is always true concerning traffic processed by the virtual server?
• The client IP address is unchanged between the client side connection and the server-side connection.

Question 22

• Which three properties can be assigned to nodes? (Choose three)
• Ratio values, health monitors, connection limits

Question 23

• A Standard Virtual Server for a web application is configured with Automap..
• What should the BIG-IP Administrator configure to meet this requirement?
• An HTTP profile to insert the X-Forward-For header.

Question 24

• A site would like to ensure that a given web server's default page is being served correctly prior to sending it client traffic.
• What would the member status be if it sent an unexpected response to the GET request ?
• The pool member would be marked offline (red).

Question 25

• Which IP address will the client address be changed to when SNAT automap is specified within a Virtual Server configuration?
• The floating self-IP address on the VLAN where the packet leaves the system.
