What are two characteristics of Server Load Balancing router mode? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• AThe design supports multiple server subnets.
• BAn end-user sees the IP address of the real server.
• CSLB routes between the outside and inside subnets.
• DThe source or destination MAC address is rewritten, but the IP addresses left alone.
• ESLB acts as a "bump in the wire" between servers and upstream firewall or Layer 3 devices.

Explanation

In Server Load Balancing (SLB) Router Mode, the SLB device functions as a full Layer 3 router between the client-facing (outside) subnet and the server-facing (inside) subnet. Because it routes between these subnets, it can support multiple distinct server subnets (Choice A), and it actively routes traffic between the outside and inside subnets (Choice C). Choice B is incorrect because in router mode the SLB rewrites IP addresses-clients see the VIP, not the real server IP. Choice D describes MAC-rewrite (one-arm) mode, where only MAC addresses are changed while IPs are preserved. Choice E describes transparent (bridge/bump-in-the-wire) mode, where the device is inserted inline without changing IP or MAC addressing.
