Selected Answers: B


The BIG-IP Administrator should make this change in B. Local Traffic > Pools, specifically within the app_pool settings to modify the service port for each member, telling the BIG-IP which backend port to send traffic to from the Virtual Server app_vs.
Here's why:
Virtual Servers (Option A) handle incoming traffic on a specific listener port but then forward it to a pool.
Pools (Option B) define the collection of servers (members) and the port they are listening on (the service port) for the BIG-IP to send requests to.
Nodes (Option C) represent the physical servers themselves, not the specific port they listen on within a pool.
Interfaces (Option D) relate to network interface cards, not application traffic forwarding.
