How will the BIG-IP system distribute the traffic based on the configuration below? Pool "poolB" has members: member 10.1.2.10:278 → priority 3 member 10.1.2.10:279 → priority 3 member 10.1.2.10:280 → priority 3 member 10.1.2.10:88 → priority 2 member 10.1.2.10:89 → priority 2 member 10.1.2.10:90 → priority 2 member 10.1.2.10:38 → priority 1 member 10.1.2.10:39 → priority 1 (Choose two answers)

  • A. Connections are first distributed to all pool members with priority 3 when all the pool members with priority 3 are available
  • B. If both the priority 1 group and the priority 2 group have fewer than two members available, traffic is directed to the priority 3 group
  • C. Connections are distributed to all pool members with priority 2 if one pool member with priority 3 is down
  • D. If both the priority 3 group and the priority 2 group have fewer than two members available, traffic is directed to the priority 1 group

How priority group activation works: BIG-IP sends traffic only to the highest priority group that has enough available members. The minimum is set by the pool's Priority Group Activation value ("Less than N"). Lower groups are used only when the higher group falls below that threshold. The question doesn't state the value, but the answer options reference "fewer than two", so I'm assuming it is 2.
