F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 24

The active LTM device in a high-availability (HA) pair performs a failover at the same time the network team reports an outage of a switch on the network.
Which two items could have caused the failover event? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. a VLAN fail-safe setting
• B. a monitor on a pool in an HA group
• C. the standby LTM that was rebooted
• D. an Auditor role that has access to the GUI
• E. the standby LTM that lost connectivity on the failover VLAN

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

The failover could be attributed to a VLAN fail-safe setting, which triggers a failover when it detects issues in the VLAN. Additionally, a monitor on a pool in an HA group could have indicated that the active LTM was unhealthy, prompting the failover. The other options either involve conditions that do not directly cause a failover or pertain to roles and actions that do not influence the LTM's operational state.
