An LTM Specialist has just manually failed the active LTM device over to the standby LTM device. The LTM Specialist notices the newly active LTM device is
NOT currently receiving traffic. The LTM Specialist verifies the newly active device is responding to ARP but still no traffic is hitting the virtual servers. The LTM
Specialist also notices that the virtual servers eventually start responding.
What should be added to the configuration to resolve the problem?
The correct configuration to resolve the problem is to add MAC masquerading. MAC masquerading helps in minimizing ARP communication and dropped packets during failover events by allowing the new active LTM device to adopt the MAC address of the failed device. This improvement in ARP handling ensures quicker and more reliable failovers, resulting in the virtual servers starting to respond faster.
D - Correct MAC masquerading Purpose: You should consider using this procedure under the following conditions: -You want to minimize Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) communication or dropped packets during traffic group failover events. -You want to improve reliability and failover speed in lossy networks. -You want to improve interoperability with switches that are slow to respond to gratuitous ARP requests. https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K13502
