F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 110

An LTM device has been configured to log the reasons for generating TCP RST packets.
The following log entry occurs:
"01230140:3: RST sent from 192.168.1.100:80 to 192.168.1.124:39272, [0x112d82a:1721] {peer} TCP RST from remote system."
Which condition will trigger this log entry?

Answer options

• A. A virtual server connection limit has been reached.
• B. The host at the other end terminated the TCP connection.
• C. The LTM device reset the connection because no pool members are available.
• D. The LTM device has reached the maximum number of allowed attempts to send the data segment to the affected TCP connection.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The log entry indicates that a TCP RST was sent from the device, which typically occurs when the remote host (at 192.168.1.124) terminates the connection. The other options do not directly relate to the log message indicating a reset initiated by the remote system, making them incorrect in this context.
