Citrix Exam 1Y0-241 Topic 12 Question 78 Discussion

Actual exam question for Citrix's 1Y0-241 exam

Question #: 78
Topic #: 12

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator manages an environment that has a Citrix ADC high availability (HA) pair running on two MPX appliances. The administrator notices that the state of the secondary Citrix ADC is 'Unknown'.

What is causing the secondary state to be 'Unknown'?

AThe synchronization on the secondary appliance is disabled.

BTCP port 22 is disabled between the primary and secondary ADCs.

CThe administrator made both Citrix ADCs primary.

DThe remote procedure call (RPC) nodes are incorrectly configured.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B, C

Forcing the node to stay secondary works on both standalone and secondary nodes. On a standalone node, you must use this option before you can add a node to create an HA pair. When you add the new node, the existing node stops processing traffic and becomes the secondary node. The new node becomes the primary node.

On a standalone node, you must use this option before you can add a node to create an HA pair. When you add the new node, the existing node continues to function as the primary node, and the new node becomes the secondary node.

Haha, I bet the administrator is kicking themselves for this one. It's like they hit the 'self-destruct' button on their Citrix ADC setup. Gotta love those 'Unknown' states!

A) The synchronization on the secondary appliance is disabled.

A is my pick. If the synchronization is disabled on the secondary, it's no wonder it's in an 'Unknown' state. It's like trying to play a game of chess without both players moving their pieces.

Wow, C is a really interesting option. Imagine the administrator making both ADCs primary - that would be like trying to have two captains on the same ship. What a mess that would be!

I'm gonna have to go with D on this one. The RPC nodes are the backbone of the Citrix ADC HA communication, and if they're misconfigured, it would definitely leave the secondary in an 'Unknown' state.

I think it might be A. If the synchronization is disabled on the secondary appliance, that could cause it to be in an 'Unknown' state.

Hmm, my money is on B. If the TCP port 22 is disabled, how can the primary and secondary ADCs communicate and synchronize their state? Seems like a no-brainer to me.
