Question
Which two of the following statements about how TMOS typically manages traffic between a client and server are accurate? (Choose two.)
Options
- AIt changes the destination address before forwarding a request to the server.
- BIt changes the destination address before sending a response to the client.
- CIt changes the source address before sending a response to the client.
- DIt changes the source address before forwarding a request to the server.
Explanation
TMOS in full-proxy mode typically changes the source address before forwarding a request to the server and the destination address before sending the response back to the client.
Common mistakes.
- A. Changing the destination from the virtual IP to a pool member address is handled by virtual server selection and is a basic load-balancing step rather than the SNAT-specific address management behavior this question addresses.
- C. Translating the source on a response from the pool member IP to the virtual IP is a standard virtual server behavior on the return path, not the primary address change tied to TMOS SNAT-based traffic management described here.
Concept tested. TMOS full-proxy SNAT traffic address translation
