F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 85

Users in a branch office are reporting a website is always slow. No other users are experiencing the problem. The LTM Specialist tests the website from the external VLAN along with testing the servers directly. All tests indicate normal behavior. The environment is a single HTTP virtual server on the external VLAN with a single pool containing three HTTP pool members on the internal VLAN.
Which two locations are most appropriate to collect additional protocol analyzer data? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. a user's machine
• B. the switch local to the user
• C. the LTM device's internal VLAN
• D. the LTM device's external VLAN
• E. a user's Active Directory authentication

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

Collecting data from a user's machine (A) allows for insight into local network conditions affecting the website's performance. Examining the switch local to the user (B) can help identify any issues in the immediate network path. The other options, such as the LTM device's internal and external VLANs (C and D), have already been tested with normal results, and checking Active Directory authentication (E) is not directly related to website performance.
