A network administrator is configuring a load balancer for two systems. Which of the following must the administrator configure to ensure connectivity during a failover?
A Virtual IP (VIP) must be configured to ensure connectivity during a failover in a load balancing setup. A VIP is an IP address that does not directly correlate to a single physical network interface, but rather can be used by multiple systems. This allows the load balancer to distribute network traffic between the two systems, and in case one system fails, the VIP can reroute the traffic to the operational system, ensuring continuous connectivity.
- Virtual IP (VIP): A virtual IP address should be configured on the load balancer, which is the IP address that clients use to access the load-balanced systems.
You can use a virtual IP to achieve load balancing across multiple interfaces.
Virtual IP Address (VIP or VIPA) = An IP address that does not correlate to an actual physical network interface used for NAT, fault-tolerance & virtualization. In your computer you have a NIC, normally you can only configure the NIC with a single IP address due to one physical network interface (the NIC). A VIPA will let you configure that NIC to respond to numerous IP addresses & all resolve back to physical network interface to establish network activity. Routers will often use VIPAs to provide redundancy in connectivity options by having a single VIPA assigned to the default gateway, this will allow multiple routers that can answer on behalf of the VIPA, allowing a primary device to use during normal conditions & alternate devices that can be used when primary device fails.
I honestly don't understand the question
Virtual IP
Virtual IP is the correct one
A is correct To get all questions, contact me <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="73071b16125d001e1a071b4143331c06071f1c1c185d101c1e">[email protected]</a>
P Public address of a load balanced cluster that is shared by the devices implementing the cluster.
I do not see why it has to be a Virtual IP ...
the other answers make less sense. But VIP is configured on load balanced router pairs.
a vip is correct
