A pool member is marked down, and the administrator wants to determine whether the health monitor is the cause. The pool uses a custom monitor that checks a database port. The administrator has verified that the database is reachable from the BIG-IP. What should the administrator check next to confirm the monitor is functioning correctly?

The member's 'Priority' setting

The pool's 'Load Balancing Method'

The monitor's 'Interval' and 'Timeout' settings

A health monitor is configured for a pool, but the pool member remains 'Up' even when the monitored service is stopped. What does this indicate about the monitor's effectiveness?

The monitor's timeout is too long, so it hasn't failed yet

The monitor is not correctly associated with the pool member

The monitor is functioning correctly because the pool member is still enabled

The monitor is working as intended because the member is still reachable

An administrator wants to confirm that a health monitor is actually enabled and running for a pool member. Which BIG-IP status indicator would show that the monitor is actively checking the member?

The monitor's 'Interval' is set to 0

The monitor's 'Enabled' checkbox is selected and the member shows a green status

The monitor is listed in the pool's 'Availability' column as 'unknown'

The monitor is assigned to the pool but the member is marked 'disabled'

A pool is configured with a default health monitor, but a specific pool member needs a different monitor. How can the administrator assign a unique health monitor to that single pool member?

Modify the virtual server's default pool to use a different monitor

Create a new pool and move the member to that pool

Change the node's monitor setting in the Node configuration

Edit the pool member's properties and select the desired monitor from the Health Monitor list

A pool member is not being monitored even though a health monitor is assigned to the pool. Which configuration setting would cause the monitor to be inactive for that member?

The monitor's 'Send String' is empty

The pool's 'Load Balancing Method' is set to 'Round Robin'

The monitor's 'Timeout' is set to 5 seconds

The pool member is marked 'Disabled' in its properties
