Exam 201 Topic 6 Question 174 Discussion

Actual exam question for F5's 201 exam
Question #: 174
Topic #: 6
How should a BIG-IP Administrator control the amount of traffic that a newly enabled pool member receives.

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

Specifies the duration during which the system sends less traffic to a newly-enabled pool member. The amount of traffic is based on the ratio of how long the pool member has been available compared to the slow ramp time, in seconds. Once the pool member has been online for a time greater than the slow ramp time, the pool member receives a full proportion of the incoming traffic. Slow ramp time is particularly useful for the least connections load balancing mode.
Setting this to a nonzero value can cause unexpected Priority Group behavior, such as load balancing to a low-priority member even with enough high-priority servers.
