   An administrator is troubleshooting a virtual server that is not distributing traffic evenly. The pool has four members, each with a connection limit of 100. The administrator sees that one member has 100 active connections, while the other three have 0. The load balancing method is Round Robin. What should the administrator check to determine why the other members are not receiving traffic?

   • AThe priority group activation settings on the pool
   • BThe monitor status of the other three members
   • CThe persistence profile on the virtual server
   • DThe rate limit on the virtual server

   A BIG-IP administrator is configuring a pool with two groups of servers. Group A has 4 members with priority 1, and Group B has 2 members with priority 2. The administrator wants Group B to receive traffic only when fewer than 2 Group A members are available. Which priority group activation setting should be used?

   • ALess than 4
   • BLess than 1

   An organization has a pool with four members. Two members are in priority group 1 and two are in priority group 2. The administrator notices that traffic is only going to the priority group 1 members even though the priority group 2 members are healthy. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

   • APriority group activation is set to 'Less than 1', so group 2 is never used while group 1 members are available
   • BThe priority group 2 members have a higher connection limit
   • CThe priority group 2 members are not enabled
   • DThe load balancing method is set to Least Connections

   A BIG-IP administrator is troubleshooting an issue where a virtual server appears to be sending all new connections to a single pool member, even though the load balancing method is Round Robin. The administrator checks the pool member statistics and sees that the busy member has reached its connection limit, while the other members have plenty of capacity. What is the most likely cause of this behavior?

   • AThe load balancing method is actually Least Connections, not Round Robin
   • BThe virtual server has a rate limit configured that is throttling the other members
   • CThe pool member with the connection limit is the only one with a valid monitor
   • DA persistence profile is forcing the same clients to the same member, and that member has hit its connection limit
