Refer to the exhibit.

A Layer 2 nPath routing configuration has been deployed. A packet capture contains a client-connection packet with these properties:

Source IP: <Virtual Server>
Destination IP: <Client A>

At which two locations could this packet capture have been taken?

Choose two

Explanation

Layer 2 nPath uses direct server return: the web server sends response traffic toward the client with the virtual-server address as its source, bypassing the LTM on the return path. This packet can therefore be captured on the web server’s network interface and on the Internet firewall’s internal interface as it travels from the internal network toward the client.
