F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 52

An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting an issue with a new virtual server. When connecting through the virtual server, clients receive the message "The connection was reset" in the browser, although connections directly to the pool member show the application is functioning correctly. ltm pool srv1_https_pool { members {
192.168.2.1:https{
address 192.168.2.1
}
}
}
ltm virtual https_example_vs {
destination 192.168.1.155:https
ip-protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.255
pool srv1_https_pool
profiles {
http { }
tcp { }
}
snat automap
vlans-disabled
}
How should the LTM Specialist resolve this issue?

Answer options

• A. Enable HTTP monitoring on the pool.
• B. Add a ClientSSL profile to the virtual server.
• C. Disable SNAT Automap on the virtual server.
• D. Remove the HTTP profile from the virtual server.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because removing the HTTP profile from the virtual server can eliminate potential issues related to HTTP traffic handling, which may be causing the connection reset error. Options A and B would not address the underlying cause of the issue, and option C might lead to other problems since SNAT Automap is often necessary for proper routing.
