Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 32

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator executed the following command in a global server load balancing (GSLB) environment: set gslb site SiteB -triggerMonitor MEPDOWN
What will be the effect of this command on the default service monitoring behavior on a remote site?

Answer options

• A. The service monitor is invoked only when Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP) has marked the service as DOWN.
• B. The service monitor is invoked only when Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP) connectivity has been lost between Site A and Site B.
• C. The service monitor will take precedence over Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP).
• D. The state of the GSLB service will always be controlled by Metric Exchange Protocol (MEP).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The command modifies the service monitoring behavior such that the monitor will only activate when MEP connectivity is lost, which corresponds to option B. Options A and C are incorrect because they misrepresent the conditions under which the service monitor is triggered, and option D incorrectly states that MEP always controls the GSLB service state.
