In a BIG-IP pool with priority groups, when does a higher-priority group become active?

When at least one member in the higher-priority group is marked up by its health monitor

Only when all members in the higher-priority group are healthy

When the pool's load balancing algorithm selects a member from that group

When the lower-priority group has been active for a specified time

In the BIG-IP Configuration utility, where can you see which priority group is currently active for a pool?

On the pool's 'Members' screen, by observing which members are marked as 'Available'

On the virtual server's 'Resources' screen

On the 'Statistics' screen of the pool

On the node's 'Properties' screen

In a pool with priority groups, what happens to existing connections when a higher-priority group becomes available and takes over traffic?

Existing connections are moved to the higher-priority group after a timeout

Existing connections are immediately terminated and re-established to the higher-priority group

Existing connections continue on the lower-priority group until they end naturally

Existing connections are load balanced between both groups

What is the primary purpose of priority groups in a BIG-IP load balancing pool?

To enable multiple load balancing algorithms to run simultaneously on the same pool

To distribute traffic equally among all pool members regardless of their capacity

To provide a preferred set of pool members that handle traffic when available, with lower-priority groups used only when higher-priority members are unavailable

To isolate traffic between different applications on the same pool
