Assume a BIGIP has no NATs or SNATs configured. Which two scenarios are possible when client traffic arrives on a BIGIP that is NOT destined to a selfIP. (Choose two.)

If incoming client traffic to a BIG-IP does not match any configured virtual server and is not destined for a self-IP, the BIG-IP will, by default, discard the traffic because it has no explicit instruction or configuration to handle or forward it. This behavior prevents the BIG-IP from acting as an unintended router for traffic it is not configured to process.

A BIG-IP device, without a matching virtual server or self-IP destination for incoming traffic, does not default to forwarding traffic based on routing table entries for unknown destinations, as its primary role is to process traffic through virtual servers.

When incoming client traffic matches the IP address and port of an active virtual server, the BIG-IP system processes that traffic according to the configuration defined for that specific virtual server, including any associated profiles, pools, or iRules. This is the primary function of a virtual server, acting as the listener and traffic management point for client connections.

If traffic matches a virtual server, it will be processed according to that virtual server's configuration, which explicitly defines how the traffic should be handled, including forwarding it to a pool member, contradicting the statement that it cannot be forwarded.
