Explanation
When a client's browser does not accept cookies, BIG-IP cannot maintain cookie persistence and falls back to standard load balancing for that connection.
Common mistakes.
- A. The connection request is still processed by BIG-IP; the inability to set a cookie only affects session persistence, not whether the request is accepted and forwarded.
- B. BIG-IP does not redirect the request to an apology server when cookies are unavailable - it handles the connection normally through load balancing.
- D. BIG-IP does not refuse the connection or return an error message when a client does not accept cookies; the request proceeds without persistence.
Concept tested. F5 cookie persistence fallback to load balancing
