F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 59

A stand-alone LTM device is to be paired with a second LTM device to create an active/standby pair. The current stand-alone LTM device is in production and has several VLANs with floating IP addresses configured. The appropriate device service clustering (DSC) configurations are in place on both LTM devices.
Which two non-specific DSC settings should the LTM Specialist configure on the second LTM device to ensure no errors are reported when attempting to synchronize for the first time? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. pools
• B. VLANs
• C. default route
• D. self IP addresses

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Configuring the same VLANs and self IP addresses on the second LTM device ensures that the network configuration matches the primary device, preventing synchronization errors. The other options, pools and default route, do not directly impact the initial synchronization process in this context.
