Citrix ADC 13 Administrator — Question 59

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator has configured an HTTP load-balancing virtual server with Least Response Time as the load-balancing algorithm.
The administrator notice 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 Round Robin load-balancing algorithm?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because if the virtual server is in startup round robin mode, it will default to that algorithm until fully initialized. Option A is incorrect since the PING monitor does not affect the load-balancing algorithm directly. Option C is false because Least Response Time can indeed be used on HTTP virtual servers. Option D does not apply here since the mode of load balancing is determined by the configuration settings, not whether they are saved.
