Citrix Access Control Administration — Question 113

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator is configuring a Citrix ADC high availability (HA) pair. The administrator needs to ensure that one Citrix ADC is UP and primary at all times to guarantee that business websites are always available.

In the event that both nodes become unavailable or fail a health check, what does the administrator need to do to ensure that the Citrix ADCs still handle web traffic?

Answer options

• A. Disable HA fail-safe mode on the primary Citrix ADC only.
• B. Configure HA fail-safe mode on the primary Citrix ADC only.
• C. Disable HA fail-safe mode on each Citrix ADC independently.
• D. Configure HA fail-safe mode on each Citrix ADC independently.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because configuring HA fail-safe mode on each Citrix ADC ensures that if both nodes go down, one can still process traffic as it will allow the system to maintain operations. Options A and B only consider the primary ADC, which does not provide the necessary protection for both nodes. Option C incorrectly suggests disabling fail-safe mode, which would increase the risk of downtime.
