Which step can a Citrix Administrator take in order to use the default compression policies?

Question

Options

• ABind the default compression policies to the virtual server.
• BEnable compression on the associated bound services.
• CDisable the Citrix ADC Compression feature at a global level.
• DSelect the compression algorithm (gzip/deflate/identity).

• A
  93% (39)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  2% (1)

Explanation

Binding the default compression policies to the virtual server (A) is the correct action because Citrix ADC ships with built-in compression policies that are pre-configured but inactive until explicitly bound to a virtual server - binding is what puts them into effect for that traffic path.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because enabling compression on bound services alone does not activate the compression policies; policies must be bound at the virtual server level to define when and how compression is applied.
• C is wrong and counterproductive - disabling the Compression feature globally would prevent compression from working at all, not enable default policies.
• D is wrong because selecting a compression algorithm is a configuration detail within a policy, not a step required to use existing default policies (which already have algorithms defined).

Memory tip: Think "bind to activate" - Citrix ADC policies (compression, rewrite, responder) are always bound to a virtual server to take effect, just like how a rule does nothing until you attach it to something.
