F5 Networks 301a Exam - Topic 2 Question 102 Discussion

Actual exam question for F5 Networks's 301a exam

Question #: 102
Topic #: 2

Exhibit.

The LTM devices LTM1 and LTM2 are configured in a Device Group (Sync Failover) with Network Failover configured on both the management and HA and Internal VLANS. and ConfigSync is confined in a Device Group (Sync Failover) with Network Failover and internal are tagged on a single trunk with subnets Connection Mirroring is configured on both the HA interlace directly connected between LTM1 and LTM2, and the management interlace is connected to a management switch. The LTM devices have four Traffic Groups defined, and both LTM devices are healthy and capable of passing traffic for any of the Traffic Groups.

An LTM Specialist disconnects the cable for the HA network in an effort to test failover.

Which HA functionality works in this case?

AConfigSync does NOT work. Connection Mirroring floes NOT work.

BConfigSync works Connection Mirroring works

CConfigSync works. Connection Mirroring docs NOT work

DConfigSync does NOT work; Connection Mirroring works

Show Suggested Answer

ConfigSync won't work if HA is disconnected.

I'm leaning towards D, but I can't recall if Connection Mirroring needs the HA link too. It’s a bit confusing!

This question feels similar to one we practiced where the HA link was tested. I think ConfigSync definitely fails in that scenario.

I think Connection Mirroring might still function even if the HA network is disconnected, but I'm not entirely sure.

I remember studying that ConfigSync relies on the HA network, so if that's down, it probably won't work.

Whoa, this is a tricky one. There are a lot of moving parts to consider. I'm going to take my time and methodically work through the information provided.

Okay, I think I've got this. The key is understanding how ConfigSync and Connection Mirroring work when the HA network goes down. I'm confident I can figure out the right answer.

Hmm, the scenario describes a lot of configuration details. I'll need to carefully read through it and think through the impact of disconnecting the HA network.

Trick question! The real answer is E: Disconnect the cable, then run away before the LTM devices figure out what's going on. Just kidding, I'll stick with C.

I'm feeling pretty confident about B. If the devices are in a Device Group (Sync Failover), then ConfigSync and Connection Mirroring should both continue to function even with the HA network disconnected.

Yeah, I'm also leaning towards B. It makes sense that those functionalities would still work even without the HA network connection.

I agree, B seems like the most logical choice. The devices should still be able to sync and mirror connections.

I think B is the correct answer too. ConfigSync and Connection Mirroring should still work even with the HA network disconnected.

Ah, the old HA network disconnect test. Classic move, LTM Specialist! I'd go with C, since ConfigSync is a device-level feature and should still work even with the HA network down.

Yeah, ConfigSync is independent of the HA network, so it should work fine in this scenario.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'd say D seems plausible, but I better double-check the details on ConfigSync and Connection Mirroring.

I think the correct answer is C. ConfigSync works, but Connection Mirroring does not work since the HA network was disconnected. Without the HA network, the two devices can't communicate to mirror connections.
