   A service provider runs two BIG-IP devices in an active/active configuration. Each device has its own floating IP address for different virtual servers. The administrator wants to ensure that if one device fails, the other device can take over the failed device's virtual servers, but the administrator is concerned about the additional load on the surviving device. What is the most important consideration when planning for this failover scenario?

   • AConfiguration synchronization must be set to manual mode.
   • BThe floating IP addresses must be different on each device.
   • CConnection mirroring must be disabled to reduce CPU load.
   • DThe surviving device must have sufficient capacity to handle the combined traffic of both devices.

   An administrator has just finished configuring a new iRule on the active BIG-IP device in an HA pair. The administrator wants to ensure the iRule is available on the standby device in case of a failover. What is the most reliable way to accomplish this?

   • AReboot the standby device to force it to load the iRule from the active device.
   • BPerform a configuration synchronization from the active device to the standby device.
   • CManually recreate the iRule on the standby device.
   • DCopy the iRule text to a text file and email it to the standby device's administrator.

   A company has a BIG-IP active/standby pair. The virtual server is configured with a floating self-IP address. The active device loses network connectivity on its external interface, which triggers a failover to the standby device. What is the immediate effect on client traffic?

   • AClient traffic is load-balanced between both devices until the network is restored.
   • BClient traffic continues to reach the virtual server via the floating IP, now owned by the standby device.
   • CClient traffic is dropped until the active device's network connectivity is restored.
   • DClient traffic is redirected to the management IP address of the standby device.
