A virtual server is defined using a source address based persistence profile. The last five connections were A, B, C, A, C. Given the conditions shown in the graphic, if a client with IP address 205.12.45.52 opens a connection to the virtual server, which member will be used for the connection?
The question involves a virtual server using a source address persistence profile. The client IP address is 205.12.45.52, and there is already a persistence entry for this IP address mapped to the member 10.10.20.4:80 with an age of 300 seconds. The persistence profile has a timeout of 360 seconds. Since 300 seconds is within the timeout period, the client will be persisted to its last used member, which is 10.10.20.4:80. Therefore, the member 10.10.20.4 will be used for the connection, even though it is currently listed as offline. This assumes the system doesn't automatically reassign connections from offline members, and given no specific information about handling offline members in the provided details, persistence rules are followed as per the timeout setting.
@Smallair, you may be right, but member 10.10.20.4 is offline. Thus traffic can be forwarded tot first available member. That is 10.10.20.2 (less connection count compared 10.10.20.1)
There is two member priority 5 nodes available. So from those tho the lower will get connection. That is 10.10.20.2 (B). Perssistence is not used as the target pool is offline.
because of persistence
I think the answer is D, because the timeout setting 360 is bigger than 300,so the next connection member is still 10.10.20.4。
