Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 Associate — Question 43

A Citrix Administrator executed the following command in the Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) environment: set gslb site SiteB `"triggerMonitor MEPDOWN
What will be the effect of this command to the default service monitoring behavior on the remote site?

Answer options

• A. The service monitor will take precedence over Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP)
• B. The service monitor is invoked only when Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP) has marked the service as DOWN for any reason.
• C. The state of the GSLB service will always be controlled by Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP).
• D. The service monitor is invoked only when Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP) connectivity has been lost between SiteA and SiteB.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the command specifically triggers the service monitor to respond only when MEP indicates that the service is DOWN. Option A is incorrect as it suggests the service monitor always takes precedence, while C misstates that MEP controls the service status at all times. Option D also incorrectly limits the service monitor's activation to connectivity loss, rather than the service's DOWN status indicated by MEP.
