During an upgrade, if the active APM device fails over to a standby device that is still running the previous software version, what is the expected outcome?

The standby device automatically upgrades to the new version before taking over

The standby device resets all APM sessions and requires users to re-authenticate

The standby device takes over traffic processing using its current configuration

The standby device refuses to take over until the upgrade is complete

During a BIG-IP upgrade, what is the expected behavior of a device that is part of a cluster?

The device immediately stops serving traffic when the upgrade starts

The device continues to serve traffic until the upgrade is activated and it reboots

The device automatically fails over to another cluster member at the start of the upgrade

The device's configuration is automatically rolled back after the upgrade

Which APM feature would use OPSWAT to enforce that a client has the latest antivirus definitions before allowing access?

Access policy with an endpoint security check

A company is adding a new BIG-IP APM device to an existing cluster. The new device is running the same version as the cluster. The administrator wants to ensure that the new device is fully synchronized before it can take over in a failover. What is the correct order of steps?

Perform a config sync first, then add the device to the device group.

Upgrade the new device to a newer version, then add it to the cluster.

Add the device to the device group, establish trust, and then perform a config sync.

Manually copy the configuration to the new device, then add it to the cluster.

During a maintenance window, an administrator is upgrading the active BIG-IP APM device in a two-device cluster. The upgrade process causes the active device to reboot. The standby device, which is running the old software version, takes over as active. What is the most likely impact on existing APM access sessions?

Existing sessions are terminated and users must re-authenticate.

Existing sessions are preserved because the standby device has the same configuration.

Existing sessions are migrated to the standby device with no interruption.

Existing sessions are paused and resume when the original active device returns.
