An LTM device has a virtual server configured as a Performance Layer 4 virtual listening on
0.0.0.0:0 to perform routing of packets to an upstream router. The client machine at IP address 192.168.0.4 is attempting to contact a host upstream of the LTM device on IP address 10.0.0.99.
The network flow is asymmetrical, and the following TCP capture displays:
# tcpdump -nnni 0.0 'host 192.168.0.4 and host 10.0.0.99'
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

An LTM Specialist has configured a virtual server for www.example.com, load balancing connections to a pool of application servers that provide a shopping cart application. Cookie persistence is enabled on the virtual server. Users are able to connect to the application, but the user's shopping cart fails to update. A traffic capture shows the following:

What should the LTM Specialist do to resolve the problem?
Correct Answer: D Vote an answer
An LTM Specialist is tasked with ensuring that the syslogs for the LTM device are sent to a remote syslog server.
The following is an extract from the config file detailing the node and monitor that the LTM device is using for the
remote syslog server:
monitor Syslog_15002 { defaults from udp dest *:15002 }
node 91.223.45.231 { monitor Syslog_15002 screen RemoteSYSLOG }
There seem to be problems communicating with the remote syslog server. However, the pool monitor shows that the remote server is up.
The network department has confirmed that there are no firewall rules or networking issues preventing the LTM device from
communicating with the syslog server. The department responsible for the remote syslog server indicates that there may
be problems with the syslog server. The LTM Specialist checks the BIG-IP LTM logs for errors relating to the remote syslog server. None are found. The LTM Specialist does a tcpdump:
tcpdump -nn port 15002, with the following results: 21:28:36.395543 IP 192.168.100.100.44772 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 19 21:28:36.429073 IP 192.168.100.100.39499 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 169 21:28:36.430714 IP 192.168.100.100.39499 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 181 21:28:36.840524 IP 192.168.100.100.39499 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 169 21:28:36.846547 IP 192.168.100.100.39499 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 181 21:28:39.886343 IP 192.168.100.100.39499 > 91.223.45.231.15002: UDP, length 144
NotE.192.168.100.100 is the self IP of the LTM device.

A company uses a complex piece of client software that connects to one or more virtual servers (VS) hosted on an LTM device. The client software is experiencing issues. An LTM Specialist must determine the cause of the problem.
The LTM Specialist is seeing a client source IP of 168.210.232.5 in the tcpdump. However, the client source IP is actually 10.123.17.12.
Why does the IP address of 10.123.17.12 fail to appear in the tcpdump?

An LTM Specialist has created a virtual server to load balance traffic to a pool of HTTPS servers. The servers use client certificates for user authentication. The virtual server has clientssl, serverssl, and http profiles enabled. Clients are unable to connect to the application through the virtual server. Clients are able to connect to the application servers directly.

An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting a problem on an eCommerce website. The user browses the online store using port 80, adding items to the shopping cart. The user then clicks the "Checkout" button on the site, which redirects the user to port 443 for the checkout process. Suddenly, the user's shopping cart is shown as empty. The shopping cart data is stored in memory on the server, and the default source address persistence profile is used on both virtual servers.
