Question 1 of 64

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator found that whenever a NetScaler VPX high availability (HA) pair of appliances fails over, the load-balanced websites are NOT accessible. The administrator investigated the issue and found that the router and switches do NOT support gratuitous ARP (GARP). However, the administrator cannot immediately afford to upgrade the network infrastructure.

What can the administrator do immediately to resolve the issue and prevent a future outage?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

Configuring a Virtual MAC (VMAC) on the NetScaler will create a floating MAC address paired with the floating IP addresses. This approach solves issues related to network devices that do not support gratuitous ARP (GARP), ensuring continuous accessibility of the load-balanced websites during a failover.

Question 2 of 64

Which two deployment methods does remote desktop protocol (RDP) proxy support? (Choose two.)

Question 3 of 64

Scenario: A company recently acquired three smaller companies; this adds more than 1500 employees to the company. The current NetScaller appliance does

NOT support adding that many users.

A Citrix Administrator needs to use a Multi-Tenancy solution, giving each newly acquired company its own NetScaler for VPN access, load balancing, and at least

20 GBPS of throughput.

How can the administrator meet the needs of this environment?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is D.

To meet the requirements of providing dedicated NetScaler services for VPN access, load balancing, and at least 20 GBPS of throughput for each newly acquired company, a NetScaler SDX appliance is the best solution. The SDX appliance allows for the configuration of multiple NetScaler instances on a single hardware platform, providing the needed multi-tenancy and throughput capabilities.

Question 4 of 64

Which two features can a Citrix Administrator use to allow secure access to a sensitive company web server that is load-balanced by the NetScaler? (Choose two.)

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A, C.

To allow secure access to a sensitive company web server that is load-balanced by the NetScaler, a Citrix Administrator can use the ICA proxy and Application Firewall features. The ICA proxy enables secure remote access by tunneling connections through a secure connection, ensuring that data exchanged between the server and client is encrypted and protected. The Application Firewall protects the web server by inspecting incoming traffic for malicious activity and blocking any threats, providing an additional layer of security for sensitive information.

Question 5 of 64

Scenario: A NetScaler is configured with the following modes:

  • MAC-based Forwarding
  • USIP
  • USNIP
  • Layer 3 mode

A Citrix Administrator configured a new router and now requires some of the incoming and outgoing traffic to take different paths through the new router. However, the administrator notices that this is failing and takes a network trace. After a short monitoring period, the administrator notices that the packets are still NOT getting to the new router from the NetScaler.

Which mode should the administrator disable on the NetScaler to facilitate the addition of the new router and successfully route the packets?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is A.

MAC-based Forwarding (MBF) should be disabled in this scenario. MBF ensures that packets return through the same path by using the MAC address of the received packet. If MBF is enabled, it can prevent packets from taking different paths through different routers as required by the administrator. Disabling MBF will allow the NetScaler to use route lookup for returning packets, facilitating the use of multiple paths through the new router.
