Citrix Access Control Administration — Question 83

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator needs to add 10 new web servers to an existing server farm where the default load-balancing method is used. The new servers, which are twice the capacity of the existing ones, are configured to serve the same applications and connections. The administrator wants to ensure that they are being fully utilized.

To ensure that only the 10 new servers receive twice the connections as the old servers without changing load balancing, the administrator needs to add a weight of _________ to the services attached to the _____________ servers. (Choose the correct option to complete the sentence.)

Answer options

• A. 10; new
• B. 2; new
• C. 10; old
• D. 2; old

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as assigning a weight of 2 to the new servers ensures they receive twice the connections compared to the old servers, which have the default weight of 1. Options A and C incorrectly suggest assigning a weight that does not achieve the desired connection ratio, while option D incorrectly targets the old servers, which should not be weighted more heavily than the new ones.
