   A company has two GSLB sites. The administrator is troubleshooting an issue where the GSLB is not routing traffic to the site with the least load. The administrator has confirmed that metric exchange is enabled and that the 'show gslb metricExchange' command shows recent exchange timestamps. What should the administrator check next to determine why the load-based routing is not working?

   • ACheck the DNS records for the GSLB domain.
   • BCheck the metric exchange interval.
   • CCheck the GSLB virtual server's load-balancing method.
   • DCheck the network connectivity between the two sites.

   A company has a GSLB setup with two sites. The administrator wants to ensure that the GSLB can make routing decisions based on the current load and availability of services at each site. The administrator is considering whether to enable metric exchange. What is the primary benefit of enabling the metric exchange protocol in this scenario?

   • AIt allows the GSLB to route traffic based on the real-time state and load of services at each site.
   • BIt automatically configures the GSLB virtual servers on both sites.
   • CIt provides a secure channel for encrypting all traffic between the two sites.
   • DIt eliminates the need for DNS-based GSLB resolution.

   An administrator has configured metric exchange between two GSLB sites. The administrator suspects that the metric exchange is not working because the 'show gslb metricExchange' output shows no recent exchange timestamps. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

   • AThe DNS servers for the GSLB sites are not configured correctly.
   • BThe metric exchange interval is set too high, so exchanges are infrequent.
   • CThe GSLB virtual servers are not bound to any services.
   • DThe metric exchange protocol is disabled on one or both sites.

   A GSLB deployment has two sites. The administrator notices that the metric exchange protocol is consuming more bandwidth than expected between the sites. The administrator wants to reduce the bandwidth usage while still maintaining the ability to make failover decisions based on site availability. What is the most effective configuration change?

   • ADisable metric exchange and use static GSLB service weights.
   • BIncrease the metric exchange interval from 5 seconds to 30 seconds.
   • CKeep the interval at 5 seconds but enable compression on the metric exchange protocol.
   • DReduce the number of metric types exchanged from all to only CPU usage.
