I doubt it was the rebooted standby LTM; that seems unrelated.

Agree, the monitor on a pool could trigger a failover too.

Wait, how does an Auditor role affect failover? Sounds off.

I think it’s more likely the standby LTM lost connectivity.

A VLAN fail-safe setting could definitely cause that.

I vaguely recall something about rebooting the standby LTM, but I can't remember if that would actually lead to a failover.

The standby LTM losing connectivity on the failover VLAN sounds familiar; I feel like that could definitely cause a failover event.

I think a monitor on a pool in an HA group could trigger a failover if it detects an issue, but I’m not confident about that.

I remember we discussed VLAN fail-safe settings in class, but I'm not entirely sure how they directly relate to failovers.

Alright, I'm feeling confident about this one. The HA pair and network outage are clearly related, so I just need to consider the possible triggers for a failover in that scenario.

I've got a strategy for this. First, I'll identify the potential failure points in an HA setup, then cross-reference those with the details provided about the network outage. I think I can figure this out.

Whoa, this is a tough one. I'm a bit confused about the relationship between the HA pair and the network outage. I'll have to think this through step-by-step.

Okay, let's see. The key here is to identify the two most likely causes of the failover event given the network outage. I think I can narrow it down.

Hmm, this one seems tricky. I'll need to carefully consider the HA pair setup and the potential failure points.

I bet the network team was just trying to distract the LTM team so they could have a coffee break. That's the real reason for the 'outage', am I right?

A VLAN fail-safe setting (option A) sounds like it could be a valid answer, but I'm pretty sure that's not what they're looking for here. Maybe the network team should have tried turning it off and on again before calling it in.

I'm not sure how an Auditor role with GUI access (option D) could cause a failover, unless they accidentally pushed the big red button or something. That's a bit of a stretch if you ask me.

Rebooting the standby LTM (option C) could also trigger a failover, but that's not one of the two correct answers. Maybe the network team should have checked the failover VLAN before reporting the switch outage.

The failover event could be caused by a monitor on a pool in an HA group or the standby LTM losing connectivity on the failover VLAN. Looks like options B and E are the correct answers here.
CH

Yes, and it could also be because the standby LTM lost connectivity on the failover VLAN.

I agree with you, Shonda. It's possible that the failover was triggered by a monitor on a pool in an HA group.
