A pool has Group 1 (10.1.1.1, 10.1.1.2) and Group 2 (10.1.1.3, 10.1.1.4). Traffic is currently being sent to Group 2 because both nodes in Group 1 are down. Node 10.1.1.1 recovers and passes its health check. What happens to traffic?

Traffic fails back to Group 1 and is sent to 10.1.1.1.

Traffic is split between 10.1.1.1 and Group 2.

Traffic continues to be sent to Group 2 until 10.1.1.2 also recovers.

Traffic continues to Group 2, but 10.1.1.1 is added to the load balancing rotation.

In the BIG-IP Configuration utility, where do you set the priority group for a pool member?

In the member's 'Priority' field within the pool's member list

In the virtual server's 'Pool' settings

In the node's 'Availability' settings

In the pool's 'Load Balancing' settings

A pool has priority group 1 (members A and B) and priority group 2 (members C and D). Initially, A and B are down, so traffic goes to C and D. Later, A comes back up. What happens?

Traffic remains on C and D until the pool is manually reconfigured

Traffic continues to go to C and D until B also comes up

Traffic immediately switches back to group 1, using A

Traffic is split between A and C until B comes up

A pool is configured with Group 1 (nodes A, B) and Group 2 (nodes C, D). All nodes are healthy, and traffic is going to Group 1. Node A fails. Shortly after, node B also fails. What is the sequence of events?

Traffic fails over to Group 2 immediately when node A fails.

Traffic is dropped until node A or B recovers.

Traffic continues to node B until it fails, then fails over to Group 2.

Traffic is split between node B and Group 2 after node A fails.
