F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 6

An LTM device is monitoring three pool members. One pool member is being marked down.
What should the LTM Specialist enable to prevent the server from being flooded with connections once its monitor determines it is up?

Answer options

• A. manual resume
• B. packet shaping
• C. hold down timer
• D. slow ramp timer
• E. fastest load balance algorithm

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, slow ramp timer, which controls the rate at which connections are sent to a server after it has been marked up, preventing overload. Options A and C do not address connection management upon recovery, while B and E are unrelated to managing connection rates post-server recovery.
