Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 81

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator manages a Citrix SDX appliance with several instances configured. The administrator needs to enable Layer 2 mode on two instances.

When using a shared network interface, what must the administrator do to ensure that traffic flows correctly?

Answer options

• A. Ensure Layer 3 and Layer 2 modes are enabled.
• B. Enable tagging on all interfaces.
• C. Enable MAC-based forwarding (MBF) mode.
• D. Disable Layer 2 mode on a Citrix ADC instance.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because enabling tagging on all interfaces allows for proper identification and separation of traffic in Layer 2 mode. Option A is incorrect because both modes do not need to be enabled simultaneously. Option C is not relevant as MAC-based forwarding is not necessary for this scenario. Option D is wrong since disabling Layer 2 mode on a Citrix ADC instance would not support the desired configuration.
