F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 119

A BIG-IP Operator has made a grave error and deleted a few virtual servers on the active LTM device fronting the web browsing proxies. The BIG-IP Operator has
NOT yet performed a configuration sync.
Which command should the LTM Specialist execute on the active LTM device to force a failover to the standby node and restore web browsing?

Answer options

• A. tmsh /sys failover standby
• B. tmsh run /sys failover standby
• C. tmsh /sys failover status standby
• D. tmsh run /sys failover status standby

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the 'run' prefix in the command executes the failover action immediately, which is necessary for restoring service. Option A only specifies the command without executing it, while C and D are for checking the status and do not initiate a failover.
