Traffic sourced from 10.10.10/24 must use the specific pool member for load balancing.
Which configuration change is needed to meet the requirements?
(A). Create a newvirtual server for traffic sourced from 10.10.10.0/24 on port 80 that is destined to
10.10.20.1/32, and create a new pool has only the pool member FTP1 defined.
(B). Add FTP1 to the pool assigned to the MyVS4 virtual server, and remove all other pool
membersfrom the pool.

pool member FTP1 defined.
(D). Add FTP1 to the pool assigned to the MyVS2 virtual server, and remove all other pool member
from the pool.
Answer: D
Explanation
According to the VS matching order, first match the destination host IP, then match the destination
port and finally match the source network segment. In the current network configuration,
10.10.10./24 access to 10.10.10.20.1 will hit MyVS2. If there is no error in the title, subnet 10.10.10.0

Audit logging is an optional feature that togs messages whenever a BIG-IP system object, such as a
virtual server or a load balancing pool, is confined (that is. created, modified, or deleted). The BiGIP
system logs the messages for these auditing events in the file /var/log'audit There are three ways

* By system action
* By loading configuration data
Whenever an object is configured in one of these ways, the BIG-IP system logs a message to the audit

NO.256 An LTM Specialist is tasked with ensuring that the syslogs for the LTM device are sent to a
remote syslog server.
The following is an extract from the config file detailing the node and monitor that the LTM device is
using for the remote syslog server:
monitor
Syslog_15002 {
defaults from udp
dest *:15002
}
node 91.223.45.231 {
monitor Syslog_15002
screen RemoteSYSLOG
}
There seem to be problems communicating with the remote syslog server. However, the pool
monitor shows that the remote server is up.
The network department has confirmed that there are no firewall rules or networking issues
preventing the LTM device from communicating with the syslog server. The department responsible
for the remote syslog server indicates that there may be problems with the syslog server. The LTM
Specialist checks the BIG-IP LTM logs for errors relating to the remote syslog server. None are found.

tcpdump -nn port 15002, with the following results:
21:28:36.395543 IP 192.168.100.100.44772 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 19

192.168.100.100 is the self IP of the LTM device.
Why are there no errors for the remote syslog server in the log files?
(A). The -log option for tcpdump needs to be used.
(B). The monitor type used is inappropriate.

An LTM device has been configured for load balancing a number of different application servers.
Configuration changes need to be made to the LTM device to allow administrative management of
the servers in 172.16.10/24, 172.16.20/24, and 172.16.30/24 networks. The servers require
outbound access to numerous destinations for operations.
Which solution has the simplest configuration changes while maintaining functionality and basic
security?
(A). Remove 172.16.10.0:0/24, 172.16.20.0:0/24, and 172.16.30.0:0/24, and keep 0.0.0.0:0/0.0.0.0
enabled on all VLANs.
(B). Replace 172.16.10.0:0/24, 172.16.20.0:0/24, and 172.16.30.0:0/24, with 172.16.0.0:0/16, and
keep
0.0.0.0:0/0.0.0.0.

NO.268 A set of servers is used for an FTP application as well as an HTTP website via separate BIG-IP
Pools. The server support team reports that some servers are receiving a lot more traffic than others.
Which Load Balancing Method should the BIG-IP Administrator apply to even out the connection
count?
(A). Ratio (Member)
(B). Least Connections (Member)
(C). Least Connections (Node)

120
IT Certification Guaranteed, The Easy Way!

(D). Ratio (Node)


Answer: C
Explanation
The connection is required to be balanced, and the unit is the server and the application port is the
unit, so it is node.

NO.269 How should a BIG-IP Administrator control the amount of traffic that a newly enabled pool
member receives.
(A). set the Slow Ramp Time
(B). set a Connection Limit
(C). set the Priority Group Activation
(D). set a Health Monitor
Answer: A
Explanation
Slow Ramp Time
Specifies the duration during which the system sends less traffic to a newly-enabled pool member.
The amount of traffic is based on the ratio of how long the pool member has been available
compared to the slow ramp time, in seconds. Once the pool member has been online for a time
greater than the slow ramp time, the pool member receives a full proportion of the incoming traffic.
Slow ramp time is particularly useful for the least connections load balancing mode.
Setting this to a nonzero value can cause unexpected Priority Group behavior, such as load balancing
to a low-priority member even with enough high-priority servers.

NO.451 A BIG-IP Administrator creates an HTTP Virtual Server using an iApp template. After the
Virtual Server is created, the user requests to change the destination IP addresses. The BIG-IP
Administrator tries to change the destination IP address from 10.1.1.1 to 10.2.1.1 in Virtual Server
settings, but receives the following error:
The application service must be updated using an application management interface What is causing
this error?

NO.507 An LTM Specialist upgrades the switchinginfrastructure and the backend servers on the LAN
segments.
The LTM Specialist notices a 20% memory usage increase on the BIG-IP device while handling the
same number of concurrent connections.
A comparison of statistics pre-upgrade and post-upgrade showsa significant reduction on the
following:
-RTT between the BIG-IP device and the backend servers
-Packet drops in the switch
Time to First Byte (TTFB)
The LTM Specialist is concerned with the scalability of the number of concurrent connections with
the newmemory usage.
Which setting should be changed to reduce the memory usage on the BIG-IP device?
(A). Reduce the proxy buffer high setting on the server-side TCP profile
(B). Increase the receive window of the client-side TCP profile
(C). Increase the proxy buffer high setting on the server-side TCP profile
(D). Reduce the idle of the client-side TCP profile
Answer: A
Explanation
After adjusting the architecture, the network quality becomes better. With the connection
unchanged the memory usage increase by 20%. Itmeans that the sending speed of the server is
higher than the receiving speed of the client. F5 caches more content on the memory and causes the
memory usage to....
