101 · Question #23

Which statement accurately describes the difference between two loadbalancing modes specified as "member" and "node".

The correct answer is D. When the loadbalancing choice references "node", the addresses' parameters are used to make. The 'node' load balancing mode bases decisions on aggregate address-level parameters across all pools, while 'member' mode scopes measurements to a single pool membership.

Which statement accurately describes the difference between two loadbalancing modes specified as "member" and "node".

Options

  • AThere is no difference; the two terms are referenced for backward compatibility purposes.

Why each option

The 'node' load balancing mode bases decisions on aggregate address-level parameters across all pools, while 'member' mode scopes measurements to a single pool membership.

AThere is no difference; the two terms are referenced for backward compatibility purposes.

The 'node' and 'member' variants represent fundamentally different scopes of metric measurement and are not backward-compatibility aliases for the same behavior.

BWhen the loadbalancing choice references "node", priority group activation is unavailable.

Priority group activation is governed by the priority group settings on pool members and is not restricted or unavailable based on whether the load balancing mode references 'node' or 'member'.

CLoadbalancing options referencing "nodes" are available only when the pool members are

Node-based load balancing options are not limited to any particular pool member configuration type - they are available regardless of how pool members are defined.

DWhen the loadbalancing choice references "node", the addresses' parameters are used to makeCorrect

When the load balancing choice references 'node', the BIG-IP evaluates the node address parameters - such as total current connections or response time - aggregated across every pool that server IP belongs to when selecting a destination. This differs from 'member' mode, which evaluates only the metrics scoped to that pool member's participation in the specific pool being load balanced.
