Citrix Access Control Administration — Question 88

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 server to use the round robin load-balancing algorithm?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because if the virtual server is in startup round robin mode, it will default to that method until it is fully operational. Option B is incorrect since least response time can be used for HTTP virtual servers. Option C does not affect the load-balancing method but rather checks the health of services, and option D is irrelevant to the operation of load-balancing algorithms.
