Citrix ADC 13 Administrator — Question 30

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 state of the GSLB service will always be controlled by 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 service monitor will take precedence over 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, B, indicates that the service monitor is triggered only if MEP has determined the service to be DOWN, which is the intended behavior of the command. Option A is incorrect because it doesn't account for the service monitor's role. Option C is wrong as it suggests the service monitor takes priority over MEP, which contradicts the command's purpose. Option D misrepresents the trigger condition by implying it relies on connectivity loss rather than the service being marked as DOWN.
