F5 Application Delivery Fundamentals — Question 56

What is the purpose of MAC masquerading?

Answer options

• A. to prevent ARP cache errors
• B. to minimize ARP entries on routers
• C. to minimize connection loss due to ARP cache refresh delays
• D. to allow both BIG-IP devices to simultaneously use the same MAC address

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because MAC masquerading helps maintain active connections during ARP cache refreshes, preventing disruptions. Options A and B do not accurately describe the role of MAC masquerading, while D is incorrect as the primary objective of MAC masquerading is to manage connection stability rather than simply allowing simultaneous use of a MAC address.
