Question 62

An LTM device is monitoring pool members on port 80. The LTM device is using an HTTP monitor with a send string of GET / and a blank receive string.

What would cause the pool members to be marked down?

    Correct Answer: E

    If a pool member does not acknowledge the connection SYN on port 80, it means the initial handshake needed to establish the connection fails. This would cause the pool members to be marked down. The other options involve varying HTTP response codes, which would still result in some response back to the LTM device, but not acknowledging the connection SYN would lead to no response at all, accurately marking the pool member down.
