Question #: 46
Topic #: 5
What type of Virtual Server is configured with no Pool-members, and proxies traffic to the destination IP address specified by the client device?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

AForwarding (IP)virtual server is unique because it does not perform load balancing in the traditional sense.
* No Pool Members:Unlike a Standard virtual server, which requires a pool to direct traffic, a Forwarding (IP) virtual server typically hasno pool assigned.
* Destination-Based Routing:The BIG-IP system looks at thedestination IP addressin the original packet header sent by the client. It then consults the BIG-IP system's local routing table to determine where to send the packet.
* Transparency:It acts as a high-performance router/gateway, often used to forward traffic from internal servers to the internet or across different subnets while still allowing the BIG-IP to apply features like SNAT or bandwidth controllers.
* Stateful Tracking:While it forwards traffic based on the routing table, it still creates an entry in the connection table to track the flow (unless it is a Stateless virtual server).
