Selected Answers: A, E


1. Load balancing method

Set to Round Robin → traffic is distributed sequentially across eligible members.

2. Priority Group Activation

Configured as “Less than 2 available members”
This means:
Use Priority Group 1 as long as it has ≥ 2 available members
Only fail over to lower priority groups if fewer than 2 are available

3. Check Priority Group 1 members
From the table:

172.16.15.1:80 → Active
172.16.15.2:80 → Active
172.16.15.3:80 → Inactive

So:

Available members in Group 1 = 2 (meets requirement)
Therefore, ONLY Priority Group 1 is used

4. Apply Round Robin

Eligible pool = 172.16.15.1 and 172.16.15.2
Next two connections will go to those two members

5. Ignore other groups

Even though:
172.16.15.4 (Group 2) is active
172.16.15.7 (Group 3) is active
They are not used because failover condition is not met
Final
172.16.15.1:80
172.16.15.2:80
