Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 25

Scenario: A company has three departments with proprietary applications that need to be load balanced on a Citrix ADC. The three department managers would like to use the same IP address to access their individual applications. This would mean configuring three load-balanced vServers, all using the same IP address.
What can the Citrix Administrator configure for this scenario?

Answer options

• A. Three SNIPs with the same IP address on a Citrix ADC
• B. Three different Citrix ADCs that use the same IP address
• C. Three different admin partitions that allow use of the same IP address for each load-balanced vServer on a Citrix ADC
• D. Three different load-balanced vServers with three different IP addresses on a Citrix ADC

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because configuring three SNIPs with the same IP address allows the Citrix ADC to route traffic to the correct load-balanced vServers while using a single IP. Option B is incorrect since having different Citrix ADCs would not allow sharing the same IP address. Option C is not valid because admin partitions do not allow sharing of IP addresses among load-balanced vServers. Option D is wrong as it contradicts the requirement of using the same IP address.
