Question
Which action will take place when a failover trigger is detected by the active system.
Options
- AThe active device will take the action specified for the failure.
- BThe standby device also detects the failure and assumes the active role.
- CThe active device will wait for all connections to terminate and then failover.
- DThe standby device will begin processing virtual servers that have failed, but the active device will
Explanation
When the active BIG-IP detects a failover trigger, it takes the action that was specified for that particular failure condition, such as failing over or logging.
Common mistakes.
- B. The standby device does not independently detect the failure and assume the active role on its own; the active device initiates the failover process based on its configured action.
- C. The active device does not wait for connections to drain before failing over; the configured action is executed immediately when the trigger is detected.
- D. BIG-IP HA does not split processing so that only specific failed virtual servers move to the standby while the active continues; the entire active role transfers to the standby device.
