Citrix Gateway 13 Administration — Question 22

Scenario: A NetScaler has two interfaces as 1/1 and 1/2 with MAC-based Forwarding enabled. Below are the specifications:
-Interface 1/1 and IP 192.168.10.10 is bound to VLAN 10.
-On Interface 1/2 VLAN 20 and VLAN 30 are tagged.
-VLAN 20 is bound to IP 192.168.20.10 and VLAN 30 is bound to 192.168.30.10
The NetScaler receives a packet for VIP 192.168.30.30 on interface 1/1.
Which interface of NetScaler will send a reply back in this environment?

Answer options

• A. Interface 1/1
• B. NetScaler will drop the packet received on interface 1/1
• C. Interface 1/2
• D. Netscaler will reply on interfaces 1/1 and 1/2

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the NetScaler is configured to respond to the VIP on both interfaces due to the MAC-based Forwarding feature. Option A is incorrect as the reply won't be limited to only interface 1/1. Option B is wrong because the packet is not dropped, and option C is incorrect since the response will be sent from both interfaces.
