F5 BIG-IP Administration Data Plane Configuration (F5CAB3) Certification Sample Questions

01. When the pool member handling a connection fails, the BIG-IP should choose another member and send the client's request there. Which Action On Service Down setting produces this behavior?
a) Reject
b) None
c) Reselect
d) Drop

02. A pool has four members of equal capacity, and the administrator wants each of them to take an equal share of new connections in a simple, predictable rotation. Which load balancing method fits this requirement?
a) Fastest (Member)
b) Round Robin
c) Observed (Node)
d) Ratio (Member)

03. An administrator must apply a profile that reduces the size of HTTP responses to save bandwidth for remote users. Which profile type is required?
a) HTTP Profile
b) Web Acceleration Profile
c) OneConnect Profile
d) HTTP Compression Profile

04. A Client SSL profile must stop a virtual server from negotiating the legacy SSL versions and the earliest TLS version with clients. Which cipher string value expresses that requirement?
a) DEFAULT:!SSLv2:!SSLv3:!TLSv1
b) DEFAULT:!RC4:!MD5:!EXPORT
c) DEFAULT
d) ALL

05. Which indicator in the Configuration Utility shows that a pool member has been marked offline by a failed health monitor?
a) Blue Square
b) Red Diamond
c) Yellow Triangle
d) Green Circle

06. A pool has two health monitors assigned and its Availability Requirement is set to require at least one of them. When is a member marked down?
a) When either of the monitors fails
b) When the ICMP monitor fails
c) When the health monitor assigned first to the pool fails
d) Only when both of the assigned monitors fail

07. An administrator is reviewing how the system records the servers that sit behind a pool. What distinguishes a node from a pool member?
a) A node is a Layer 7 object; a pool member is a Layer 3 object.
b) There is no difference; the terms are interchangeable in TMOS.
c) A node is an IP address; a pool member adds a service port.
d) A node is a physical server; a pool member is a virtual server.

08. A health monitor is assigned to a pool, and a different monitor is assigned directly to one of that pool's members. How does the system treat the two assignments for that member?
a) The member-level assignment overrides the pool-wide one.
b) The pool level monitor is ignored if any node level monitor exists.
c) Both monitors run independently and both must pass.
d) A pool member supports only one assigned monitor at a time.

09. Traffic must be steered away from a pool member whose responses are slowing under heavy disk activity. Which load balancing method reacts to that condition most directly?
a) Round Robin
b) Fastest (Node)
c) Least Connections (Member)
d) Ratio (Member)

10. A pool uses Ratio (Member) load balancing. Member A is configured with a ratio of 3 and member B with a ratio of 1. Of 400 connections arriving at the pool, how many are expected to reach member A?
a) 400
b) 100
c) 300
d) 200
