While troubleshooting an APM access policy issue, an administrator runs TCPDump and sees the following output: 'SYN', 'SYN,ACK', 'ACK', 'RST,ACK' from the server. What does this pattern indicate?

The server accepted the TCP connection but immediately reset it after the handshake

The server is unreachable and the connection timed out

The SSL/TLS handshake failed due to a certificate mismatch

The client's SYN packet was dropped by a firewall

An APM administrator is troubleshooting an authentication failure where users enter valid credentials but are rejected. The administrator suspects the issue may be that the client is not reaching the authentication server, or that the access policy is not processing the credentials correctly. Which TCPDump capture would best help distinguish between these two possibilities?

Capture on the management interface and filter for the authentication server's IP

Capture on the internal VLAN and filter for traffic to the authentication server's IP address

Capture on the external VLAN and filter for port 443 only

Capture on the external VLAN and filter for the client's IP address

What is the primary purpose of SSLDump in the context of APM troubleshooting?

To capture raw IP packets on a network interface

To test SSL certificate validity

To decrypt and display SSL/TLS traffic for analysis

To configure SSL profiles on the BIG-IP
