F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 45

An LTM device is serving an FTP virtual server that has three pool members. The FTP pool members are monitored via TCP port 21. Customers are reporting that they are able to log in, but are sometimes unable to upload files to the server.
Which monitor should the LTM Specialist configure to verify that the servers can handle file uploads?

Answer options

• A. FTP
• B. Inband
• C. External
• D. Scripted
• E. Real Server

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The External monitor is the correct choice because it can be configured to perform specific checks that simulate file uploads, ensuring the servers are functioning correctly for that operation. The other options like FTP or Inband do not provide the necessary verification for upload capabilities, while Scripted might not be designed specifically for this scenario, and Real Server is not a monitoring type.
