F5 BIG-IP LTM Architect, Setup, and Deploy (301A) Certification Sample Questions

02. Which deployment scenario is most likely to benefit from packet-based load balancing?
a) An SSL offload environment
b) An HTTP cookie persistence environment
c) A high-performance Layer 3 forwarding environment
d) An application requiring Layer 7 inspection

03. What is a major implication of stopping BIG-IP services on an active device?
a) Pool monitors become more accurate
b) Application traffic processing on that device is interrupted
c) Virtual servers on that device automatically migrate to DNS
d) SNAT translations are converted into persistence records

04. Why is connection-based load balancing preferred for most HTTP applications?
a) It removes the need for health monitors.
b) It removes TCP processing from the BIG-IP.
c) It requires fewer configuration objects.
d) It supports persistence and full proxy functionality.

05. In a full proxy deployment using SNAT automap, which source IP address does the pool member see on the connection it receives?
a) The original client IP address
b) The virtual server IP address
c) A self IP address of the BIG-IP system on the server-side VLAN
d) The management IP address of the BIG-IP system

06. A multi-tier application is deployed behind a BIG-IP device. The front-end virtual server load balances to a pool whose members are second-tier virtual servers, and SNAT is enabled on the front-end virtual server.
What does the second-tier virtual server see as the client address?
a) The original client address, since SNAT applies only to the front-end tier's client side
b) The translation address applied by SNAT on the front-end virtual server
c) The address of the front-end virtual server
d) The address of the pool member selected at the second tier

07. An iRule selects a pool based on a cookie value, and later requests from the same client must reach the same pool member.
Which additional configuration is most appropriate?
a) OneConnect profile
b) Least Connections load balancing method
c) Forwarding IP virtual server
d) Persistence profile

08. Which BIG-IP object controls failover ownership for a group of related application traffic objects?
a) Pool monitor
b) HTTP profile
c) Traffic group
d) Route domain

09. An administrator created a pool and added servers by IP address and service port.
What does each IP-address-and-port entry represent?
a) Pool member
b) Traffic group
c) Route domain
d) Virtual address

10. Which object is commonly created as part of an iApp-managed LTM deployment?
a) A vCMP guest with its own core allocation
b) A device trust relationship with a peer device
c) An administrative user role
d) A virtual server
