F5 TMOS Administration — Question 12

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 BIGIP devices to simultaneously use the same MAC address

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because MAC masquerading helps reduce connection losses that can occur when the ARP cache is being refreshed. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the main purpose of MAC masquerading. Option D, while related to MAC usage, does not address the issue of connection stability during ARP cache refreshes.
