Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Associate — Question 177

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator has configured an HTTP load-balancing virtual server with Least Response Time as the load-balancing algorithm.
The administrator notices that requests to the virtual server appear to be using the Round Robin load-balancing algorithm.
What could be causing the virtual serer to use the Round Robin load-balancing algorithm?

Answer options

• A. The Citrix ADC configuration has NOT been saved yet.
• B. The virtual server is in startup round robin mode.
• C. The services that are bounbd to the HTTP virtual server are using the PING monitor.
• D. Least Response Time CANNOT be used as a load-balancing algorithm on an HTTP virtual server.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if a virtual server is in startup round robin mode, it will use the Round Robin method regardless of the intended load-balancing algorithm. Option A is incorrect since an unsaved configuration would not lead to this behavior; C is wrong as PING monitors do not affect the load-balancing algorithm directly; and D is false because Least Response Time can indeed be used with HTTP virtual servers.
