Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 3

Scenario: A Junior Citrix Administrator needs to create a content switching vServer on a Citrix ADC high availability (HA) pair. The NSIP addresses are
192.168.20.10 and 192.168.20.11. The junior administrator connects to NSIP address 192.168.20.10 and saves the changes.
The following day, a Senior Citrix Administrator tests the new content switching vServer, but it is NOT working. The senior administrator connects to the HA pair and discovers that everything the junior administrator configured is NOT visible.
Why has the Citrix ADC lost the newly added configurations?

Answer options

• A. The junior administrator made the changes and did NOT force a failover to save the configuration.
• B. The junior administrator connected to the NSIP of the secondary Citrix ADC in the HA pair.
• C. Both Citrix ADCs in the HA pair restarted overnight.
• D. The Citrix ADC appliances have different firmware versions.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because if both Citrix ADCs in the HA pair restarted, any unsaved configurations would be lost, which explains why the changes made by the junior administrator were not visible. Option A is incorrect because a failover is not required to save configurations. Option B is wrong as the administrator connected to the primary NSIP. Option D is not relevant to the loss of configuration in this context.
