A BIG-IP Administrator needs to have a BIG-IP linked to two upstream switches for resilience of the external network. The network engineer who is going to configure the switch instructs the BIG- IP Administrator to configure interface binding with LACP. Which configuration should the administrator use?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. A Trunk containing an interface connected to each switch. Trunks on BIG-IP systems are used to aggregate multiple physical interfaces into a single logical link, supporting LACP for negotiating with connected switches to provide redundancy and increased bandwidth.

Answer

A. A virtual server with an LACP profile and the switches' management IPs as pool members. Virtual servers are used for directing client traffic to backend servers, not for aggregating physical network interfaces using LACP.

Answer

B. A virtual server with an LACP profile and the interfaces connected to the switches as pool members. Virtual servers manage application traffic, and individual physical interfaces are not configured as pool members in this context for LACP functionality.

Answer

C. A Trunk listing the allowed VLAN IDs and MAC addresses configured on the switches. While Trunks involve VLANs, specifying MAC addresses configured on the switches is not the primary or complete method for configuring an LACP Trunk on the BIG-IP side; the core is grouping interfaces.
