An administrator notices a spike in denied access attempts in the ACL denied report and a corresponding increase in error counters on the statistics tab. What is the most appropriate next step to diagnose the issue?

Review the dashboard for overall system health and correlate with the denied attempts

Reboot the BIG-IP system to clear the error counters

Ignore the statistics tab and focus only on the ACL denied report

Disable the access policy to stop the denials

An administrator is analyzing the statistics tab for an access profile and sees a high 'Throughput' value, but the 'Current Sessions' count is low. Users are reporting that the application is slow. What is the most likely explanation for this discrepancy?

A few users are transferring large amounts of data

The authentication server is responding slowly

The ACL denied report shows a high number of denials

The access profile is configured to allow unlimited sessions

An administrator is analyzing the statistics tab and sees that the 'Throughput' for an access profile is very low, but the 'Current Sessions' count is high. Users are reporting that the application is slow. What is the most likely cause?

The authentication server is overloaded

The virtual server is configured for a low bandwidth limit

The sessions are idle and not transferring data

The ACL rules are blocking most of the traffic

An administrator is troubleshooting a performance issue. The dashboard shows high APM CPU usage. The statistics tab shows a high 'Session Establishment Rate' and a high 'Current Sessions' count. The ACL denied report shows no denials. What is the most likely cause of the high APM CPU usage?

The authentication server is responding slowly

The ACL rules are being evaluated for every packet

The system is running out of memory

The high volume of new sessions is consuming APM processing resources

An administrator is troubleshooting a problem where a specific group of users is experiencing slow access. The dashboard shows normal system health. The statistics tab shows a normal session count and throughput for the access profile. The ACL denied report shows a high number of denials for the users' source IPs. What is the most likely cause of the slow access?

The users' client devices are slow

The virtual server is overloaded

The users are being denied by an ACL rule, causing them to retry and experience delays

The authentication server is slow for that user group
