A company has a BIG-IP device with a trunk that has two member interfaces. The trunk is connected to a switch that supports LACP. The administrator wants to ensure that the trunk provides redundancy and that if one interface fails, the traffic is automatically redirected to the other interface. What is the best way to achieve this?

Disable LACP and use static aggregation.

Set the distribution algorithm to round-robin.

Enable LACP on the trunk and set the distribution algorithm to a hash based on source and destination IP addresses.

Assign each VLAN to a different member interface.

An administrator is configuring a trunk on a BIG-IP device and wants to ensure that if one member interface fails, the traffic is redistributed to the remaining members without causing a disruption to existing sessions. What should the administrator configure?

Set the distribution algorithm to round-robin.

Disable LACP and use static aggregation.

Enable LACP and set the distribution algorithm to a hash based on source and destination IP addresses.

Assign each VLAN to a different member interface.

What happens to traffic on a BIG-IP trunk when one of its member interfaces goes down?

The trunk automatically fails over to a different trunk

The BIG-IP reboots to reinitialize the trunk

All traffic on the trunk is stopped until the interface is restored

Traffic is redistributed across the remaining active member interfaces

What does a high number of 'discards' in trunk statistics typically indicate?

The trunk is operating normally and efficiently

The trunk is experiencing congestion or misconfiguration

The trunk is failing over to a backup link

The trunk is encrypting traffic
