What type of Virtual Server is configured with no pool members, and proxies traffic to the destination IP address specified by the client request?

The key points here are:

No pool members → The VS isn’t load balancing to backend servers.

Proxies traffic to the destination IP specified by the client → The BIG-IP is just forwarding the traffic, not modifying it or load balancing.

Option Analysis:

A. Standard → Standard VS requires a pool of members to forward traffic. ❌

B. Performance (Layer 4) → Optimized for high-throughput TCP/UDP traffic. Usually used with pools. ❌

C. Forwarding (IP) ✅ – Also called an IP Forwarding Virtual Server.

It doesn’t have a pool.

It forwards traffic to the client-specified destination IP.

Works at Layer 3/4.

D. Stateless → Used for high-speed forwarding without maintaining session state. Usually requires more configuration and doesn’t directly fit the description. ❌

✅ Correct Answer:

C. Forwarding (IP)
