   An organization has two BIG-IP devices configured in an HA pair. The active device fails. What is the expected outcome?

   • AThe standby device automatically takes over and traffic continues with minimal disruption.
   • BThe standby device takes over but only for new connections; existing connections are dropped.
   • CTraffic is interrupted until an administrator manually activates the standby device.
   • DThe standby device takes over but requires a reboot to become active.

   A network administrator is comparing two designs for a critical application. Design 1 uses two BIG-IP devices with a floating IP address that automatically moves to the standby device on failure. Design 2 uses two independent BIG-IP devices with separate IP addresses, and DNS is configured to alternate between them. Which statement correctly contrasts these designs?

   • ADesign 2 provides automatic failover, while Design 1 requires manual intervention.
   • BDesign 1 provides automatic failover, while Design 2 relies on DNS resolution and may not detect device failure quickly.
   • CBoth designs provide the same level of automatic failover.
   • DDesign 1 is simple redundancy, while Design 2 is high availability.
