Discuss F5 Networks 301b Exam Topic 6 Question 56

-- Exhibit --

Refer to the exhibits.

An LTM Specialist has configured a virtual server to distribute connections to a pool of application servers and to offload SSL processing. The application fails to work as expected when connecting to the virtual server. It does work when clients connect directly to the application. Two packet captures were taken at the application server.

What is the root cause of the problem?

AThe application servers are NOT listening on port 80.

BThe LTM device is sending non-SSL traffic to an SSL port.

CThe virtual server does NOT have a clientSSL profile assigned.

DThe SSL handshake between the LTM device and the server is failing.

Wait, are the app servers even listening on port 80?

Inocencia 12 months ago

Nah, it’s probably the LTM sending non-SSL traffic.

But what if the SSL handshake is failing instead?

I agree, that’s definitely a common issue!

The virtual server needs a clientSSL profile assigned.

I think the application servers need to be listening on the correct ports, but I can't recall if that’s the main issue here. It could be related to the SSL setup instead.

I feel like I’ve seen a question about SSL handshakes failing before. If that’s the case, option D might be the right answer, but I’m not completely confident.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think if the LTM is sending non-SSL traffic to an SSL port, that could definitely cause issues. It sounds familiar from practice questions.

I remember something about SSL profiles being crucial for proper communication. Could it be that the virtual server just doesn't have a clientSSL profile assigned?

This is a tricky one. There are a lot of moving parts to consider - the customer, the supplier, the project team. I'm going to have to really focus to work through this systematically.

This looks like a tricky MPLS question. I'll need to carefully analyze the information provided and think through the different protection scenarios.
