QuestionQ3

Identify the reason a pool is not working as expected

During a user-reported outage affecting one virtual server, a BIG-IP Administrator checks the configured pool associated with that virtual server and finds that the pool-member status icons are black.

What does a black icon indicate?

  • A The pool members have been forced offline.
  • B The pool members' configuration is missing either a port or an IP address.
  • C There is no monitoring configured for the pool members and therefore no status is available.
  • D A monitor has marked a pool member down.
Explanation

A black BIG-IP pool-member indicator denotes an administratively disabled member, meaning it has been forced offline. A health monitor failure marks a member down instead, which is represented separately as a red status.
