All members of a pool must share the same service port?

Why each option

Pool members in an F5 BIG-IP pool can each be configured with a different service port, so a pool is not restricted to a single uniform port across all members.

ATrue

This is incorrect because F5 BIG-IP explicitly supports configuring each pool member with a distinct service port, making a uniform port requirement false.

BFalseCorrect

BIG-IP allows each pool member to be assigned an individual service port, so you can mix members on port 80, port 8080, or any other port within the same pool. This flexibility lets administrators route traffic to backend servers regardless of which port each server is configured to accept connections on.
