101 Question #701: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is D: The pool member services have been shut down. In the F5 BIG-IP Network Map, a red diamond on pool members with green circles on nodes indicates the service port is unreachable while the node IP remains responsive.
Question
In the Network Map a red diamond appears next to the three member servers in the Virtual Server's pool. The nodes in the pool each show a green circle. What is the most likely reason for this scenario?
Options
- AThe pool members health monitor has been disable
- BThe pool members have been disabled
- CThe pool members have been powered off
- DThe pool member services have been shut down
Explanation
In the F5 BIG-IP Network Map, a red diamond on pool members with green circles on nodes indicates the service port is unreachable while the node IP remains responsive.
Common mistakes.
- A. Disabling a health monitor causes pool members to display a blue square representing an unchecked/unknown state, not a red diamond from a failed check.
- B. Manually disabling pool members via the BIG-IP UI marks them with a black circle indicating an administratively disabled state, not a red diamond.
- C. If the physical servers were powered off, the node IP would be unreachable and both the node and pool member would display red, not just the pool member.
