How does a manual failover trigger impact HA integrity?

It disables all HA integrity mechanisms

It only synchronizes configuration files

It initiates a controlled failover that can preserve state if stateful failover is enabled

It always causes loss of all active sessions

Which statement best describes stateful failover in an F5 BIG-IP HA configuration?

It prevents all connection loss during failover

It preserves active connection and session data across the failover event

It requires manual intervention to complete failover

It only synchronizes configuration files between units

A BIG-IP HA pair is configured with connection mirroring, persistence mirroring, and configuration synchronization. The active unit fails over due to a hardware failure. What is the expected outcome?

The configuration is consistent, but active connections and session affinity are lost

Session affinity is preserved, but active connections are lost

Active connections are preserved, but session affinity is lost

Active connections and session affinity are preserved, and the configuration is consistent

What is the role of persistence mirroring in an F5 BIG-IP HA pair?

To synchronize persistence records so user sessions stay with the same backend server after failover

To replicate active connection state to the standby unit

To synchronize configuration files between HA units

To monitor the health of the standby unit

Part of the Explain high availability (HA) concepts domain, which makes up ~19% of our current practice bank. F5 does not publish an official question count, but from its 30-minute exam (~10–20 total, ~2–4 in this domain), expect 1–1 from this objective — we provide 23 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
