A BIG-IP Administrator finds the following log entry: tnm tmm[7141]: 011e0002:4: sweeperjjpdate: aggressive mode activated. Which action should the BIG-IP Administrator to mitigate this memory issue?

The correct answer is D. Configure the serve to use Connection Mirroring. The 'sweeper aggressive mode activated' log indicates TMM memory pressure due to too many connections, which can be mitigated by ensuring proper connection mirroring in an HA setup.

Why each option

The 'sweeper aggressive mode activated' log indicates TMM memory pressure due to too many connections, which can be mitigated by ensuring proper connection mirroring in an HA setup.

AConfigure the redundant par to be active-active

Configuring an active-active pair changes the HA architecture but doesn't directly solve an existing memory pressure issue on a specific TMM instance.

BDecrease the TCP profile ide Timeout value

Decreasing the TCP profile Idle Timeout value would close idle connections sooner, which could reduce the connection table size; however, ensuring correct connection mirroring addresses a potentially more fundamental HA state management issue contributing to memory pressure.

Cincrease the TCP profile ide Timeout value

Increasing the TCP profile Idle Timeout value would keep connections open longer, exacerbating memory pressure and making the sweeper more aggressive.

DConfigure the serve to use Connection MirroringCorrect

The 'sweeper aggressive mode activated' message indicates TMM memory pressure from an excessive number of connections. In an HA pair, properly configured Connection Mirroring ensures session states are synchronized, preventing a single unit from accumulating excessive state and helping to manage connection table size effectively, thereby alleviating memory pressure.
