The answer is D, show connectiontable, because that command lets you see live connection details tied to a specific virtual server, so you can run it with the "test" vserver name and actually watch traffic flowing through rather than just checking config or service state. Spin up a Citrix NetScaler VPX in a free trial or lab and run that command against a test vserver to see exactly what fields come back, which is the kind of hands-on repetition that makes this stick for exam day.

D, show connectiontable, and I almost second-guessed myself on that one because I had just come from a lab where I was running show servicegroups constantly to check member states. The question says connection details, not service health, so once I slowed down and read it that way the answer was obvious, show connectiontable is what actually shows you the active connections hitting that vserver.

I kept thinking B until I remembered "show connectiontable" is what actually shows live connection details per vserver.

That command gives you the per-vserver snapshot, but if you also need to track session counts trending over time during a load spike, "show vpn sessionstats" pairs well with it.

I went with D because the other three commands seem to show configuration or status info rather than live connection data, and show connectiontable is the one that actually reflects what traffic is hitting the VS in real time. Can someone clarify whether you can pass the virtual server name as a parameter to filter the output, or does it just dump the full table and you have to sort through it manually to find the "test" entries?

You can filter it, pipe the output through grep for the VS name and it narrows things down fast enough that you rarely need the full dump.

Quick win, but B and C tempt you hard - connectiontable shows actual connections, pick D.

Spinning up a quick lab and running SHOW PROCESSLIST or querying performance_schema.threads alongside connection_control gives you the live proof that makes D click permanently.
