Pools and Pool Members

A BIG-IP Administrator needs to ensure that, if a pool member is marked down by its monitor, the BIG-IP system sends existing connections to another available pool member.

Which task should the BIG-IP Administrator perform to meet this goal?

  • A Set Action on Service Down setting under the pool configuration to reselect
  • B Reconfigure the pool monitor to mark the member as UP
  • C Set Action on Service Down setting under the Virtual Server configuration to reselect
  • D Enable mirroring within the persistence profile
Explanation

The pool-level "Action On Service Down" setting controls how the BIG-IP system handles existing connections when the pool member servicing them fails a health monitor check. Setting this option to "Reselect" instructs the system to redirect new packets belonging to those existing connections to another available pool member selected by the configured load balancing method, satisfying the requirement to keep sending traffic to a healthy member after a failure is detected. This option resides in the pool configuration, not on the virtual server, and is unrelated to monitor status manipulation or connection mirroring for persistence.
