F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 43

An LTM device pair is configured for failover and connection mirroring. The LTM devices are configured with virtual servers for HTTP, HTTPS with SSL offload, and SSH. An event occurs that causes a failover. HTTP and SSH sessions active at the time of failover remain active, but HTTPS sessions are dropped.
What is the root cause of this problem?

Answer options

• A. The SSL certificates on the LTM devices do NOT match.
• B. Connection mirroring is incompatible with clientssl profiles.
• C. SNAT automap was NOT enabled for the HTTPS virtual servers.
• D. Connection mirroring was NOT enabled for the HTTPS virtual servers.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as connection mirroring does not support clientssl profiles, which is necessary for maintaining HTTPS sessions during failover. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the specific issue with connection mirroring and its compatibility with the SSL offloading required for HTTPS traffic.
