Exam F5CAB2 Topic 5 Question 33 Discussion

Actual exam question for F5's F5CAB2 exam
Question #: 33
Topic #: 5
The owner of a web application asks the BIG-IP Administrator to change the port that the BIG-IP device sends traffic to. This change must be made for each member in the server pool named app_pool for the Virtual Server named app_vs. In which area of the BIG-IP Configuration Utility should the BIG-IP Administrator make this change?

Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer

In the BIG-IP object hierarchy, the destination port for backend traffic is defined at thePool Memberlevel.
While a Virtual Server listens on a specific port, the Pool determines where that traffic is directed after the load balancing decision is made.
* Pools and Pool Members: A pool is a collection of devices, often called pool members, to which the BIG-IP system passes traffic. Each pool member is defined by an IP address and a service port.
* Port Translation: When an administrator needs to change the port the BIG-IP uses to communicate with backend servers, they must navigate to the specific Pool and modify the service port for each member within that pool.
* Logical Separation:
* Virtual Serversdefine the "front-end" port where clients connect.
* Poolsdefine the "back-end" port where the application resides.
* Nodesrepresent the physical server's IP address and do not contain port-specific configuration.
