F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 86

An LTM Specialist has a single HTTPS virtual server doing SSL termination. No server SSL profile is defined. The pool members are on the internal VLAN answering on HTTP port 80. Users with certain browsers are experiencing issues.
Which two locations are most appropriate to gather packets needed to determine the SSL issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. server interface
• B. user's computer
• C. LTM device's external VLAN
• D. LTM device's internal VLAN
• E. LTM device's management interface

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Capturing packets from the user's computer (option B) allows for direct observation of the SSL communication and any potential browser-related issues. Additionally, capturing from the LTM device's external VLAN (option C) is vital to analyze the traffic coming into the LTM and how it is being managed before reaching the internal VLAN. The other options do not provide the necessary visibility into the SSL interactions.
