Citrix ADC 13 Administrator — Question 44

Scenario: A NetScaler receives packets that are destined for a MAC address owned by the NetScaler. The destination IP address of the packets does NOT belong to the NetScaler. Layer 3 Mode is enabled by default on the NetScaler.
What will the NetScaler do with the packets in this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Route the packets.
• B. Bridge the packets.
• C. Drop the packets.
• D. Process the packets.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct action is to route the packets because in Layer 3 Mode, the NetScaler is configured to route packets based on their IP addresses. Bridging packets would not be appropriate since the destination IP does not match the NetScaler's IP. Dropping or processing the packets does not align with the behavior expected in Layer 3 routing, making routing the only viable option.
