After configuring cookie persistence on a virtual server, an administrator tests the configuration by accessing the application from a web browser. The administrator notices that the BIG-IP is inserting a cookie, but the user is still being load-balanced to different servers. What is the most likely cause?

The cookie persistence profile is set to 'HTTP cookie passive' mode.

The virtual server is using a load balancing method that overrides persistence.

The persistence record is expiring before the next request.

The cookie is being stripped by the web browser.

After assigning a persistence profile to a virtual server, how can an administrator verify that the profile is correctly applied?

By viewing the virtual server's configuration and confirming the persistence profile is listed

By checking the node's health status

By checking the pool's configuration for the persistence profile

By running a packet capture on the management interface

Where in the BIG-IP configuration do you assign a persistence profile to a virtual server?

In the monitor's configuration under the 'Persistence' section

In the virtual server's configuration under the 'Persistence Profile' section

In the node's configuration under the 'Persistence' section

In the pool's configuration under the 'Persistence' section

An administrator has created a source address persistence profile and wants to apply it to an existing virtual server. The virtual server is currently using no persistence. What is the correct way to apply the persistence profile?

Use the iRule command 'persist' to apply the profile.

Edit the virtual server and set the Default Persistence Profile to the new profile.

Restart the BIG-IP system for the profile to take effect.

Add the persistence profile to the pool's member configuration.

An administrator is configuring a cookie persistence profile for a web application. The application uses a custom cookie named 'session_id' to track user sessions. The administrator wants the BIG-IP to insert a persistence cookie if the application does not set one. Which setting must be configured in the cookie persistence profile?
