Assuming there are open connections through an active system's virtual servers and a failover occurs, by default, what happens to the connections?
Assuming there are open connections through an active system's virtual servers and a failover occurs, by default, what happens to the connections?
When a failover occurs in an active system's virtual servers, all open connections are lost by default. This means that existing connections are not maintained and clients will have to re-establish their connections after the failover.
B In a typical active-standby failover configuration, when a failover occurs, the new active system takes over the existing connections, and all open connections are maintained. This is a fundamental aspect of failover in high availability configurations to ensure continuity of service
Please note that they have mentioned ACTIVE system . F5 High Availability (HA) Pair: In this configuration, which is often used with Active-Standby (sometimes called Active-Passive) setups, active connections are not maintained during a failover. When a failover happens, active connections are typically reset. Clients need to reestablish their connections to the new active device.
i would say B
E is also right...since the new connections flow through the new device. A is partially correct incase we have no conn mirrioring
E is wrong because the newly active chassis does not INITIATE connections on its own, only receive new ones from clients and then proxy them through
