An LTM Specialist configures two LTM devices in a high-availability pair with trusts established and device groups configured properly using network failover. After several months, the LTM Specialist notices that changes made to one LTM device do NOT cause the synchronization status to update to "changes pending," and this device does NOT synchronize with the device group.
Which two steps should the LTM Specialist take to identify the issue? (Choose two.)
A. Verify that NTP is synchronized.
B. Verify the network connectivity between the devices.
C. Verify that the devices are not using self-signed certificates.
D. Verify that ConfigSync is using the management IP address.
E. Verify that port lockdown on the ConfigSync interface is set to allow port 1026.
An LTM Specialist is troubleshooting an issue where one LTM device in a three LTM device group is failing to synchronize after a synchronize to group command is issued. The LTM Specialist verifies there are no packet filters, port lock down, or network issues preventing the connection.
What are two reasons the synchronization group is having issues? (Choose two.)
A. Certificates expired on all of the peer LTM devices.
B. Certificates stored for the device trusts on all of the peer LTM devices are corrupted.
C. Admin passwords changed on one of the peer LTM devices that are able to synchronize.
D. Admin password changed on the LTM device NOT receiving the synchronized configurations.
E. Certificates stored for the device trusts on the LTM device NOT receiving the configuration are corrupted.
An LTM Specialist has just manually failed the active LTM device over to the standby LTM device. The LTM Specialist notices the newly active LTM device is NOT currently receiving traffic. The LTM Specialist verifies the newly active device is responding to ARP but still no traffic is hitting the virtual servers. The LTM Specialist also notices that the virtual servers eventually start responding.
What should be added to the configuration to resolve the problem?
A. vlan failsafe
B. floating self IP
C. network failover
D. MAC masquerading
E. connection mirroring
A failover event is recorded in the log messages:

What is the cause of the failover?
A. TMM failed, and VLAN fail-safe initiated the failover.
B. TMM failed, and system fail-safe initiated the failover.
C. Loss of connection to CMI peer 10.0.0.3 initiated the failover.
D. A switchboard failure caused system fail-safe to initiate the failover.
While investigating the cause of a device failover, an LTM Specialist discovers the following events in /var/log/ltm:
01010029:5: Clock advanced by 518 ticks 01010029:5: Clock advanced by 505 ticks 01010029:5: Clock advanced by 590 ticks 01010029:5: Clock advanced by 568 ticks 01010029:5: Clock advanced by 1681 ticks 01010029:5: Clock advanced by 6584 ticks 01140029:5: HA daemon_heartbeat tmm fails action is failover and restart. 010c0026:5: Failover condition, active attempting to go standby.
Which issue caused the failover?
A. NTP being out of sync
B. TMM being descheduled
C. VLAN Fail-safe heartbeats
D. HA missing heartbeat packets
A high-availability (HA) pair configuration uses only the hardwire serial cable connection to determine device state. A power outage occurs to the PDU powering the active unit. The standby unit takes over the active role as expected.
How is the peer unit able to determine the active unit is unavailable?
A. voltage loss on serial cable
B. no data stream received on serial port
C. no response on management interface
D. no heartbeat packets received on self IPs
In preparation for a maintenance task, an LTM Specialist performs a "Force to Standby" on LTM device Unit 1. LTM device Unit 2 becomes active as expected. The maintenance task requires the reboot of Unit 1. Shortly after the reboot is complete, the LTM Specialist discovers that Unit 1 has become active and Unit 2 has returned to standby.
What would cause this behavior?
A. Unit 1 is set with the redundancy state preference of active in devices groups.
B. Unit 1 is set with the redundancy state preference of active in high availability.
C. A traffic group is configured with Auto Failback, and Unit 1 is the default device.
D. A device group is configured with Auto Failback, and Unit 1 is the default device.

An active/standby pair of LTM devices deployed with network failover are working as desired. After external personnel perform maintenance on the network, the LTM devices are active/active rather than active/standby. No changes were made on the LTM devices during the network maintenance.
Which two actions would help determine the cause of the malfunction? (Choose two.)
A. checking that the configurations are synchronized
B. checking the configuration of the VLAN used for failover
C. checking the configuration of the VLAN used for mirroring
D. checking the open ports in firewalls between the LTM devices
E. checking synchronization of system clocks among the network devices
The active LTM device in a high-availability (HA) pair performs a failover at the same time the network team reports an outage of a switch on the network. Which two items could have caused the failover event? (Choose two.)
A. a VLAN fail-safe setting
B. a monitor on a pool in an HA group
C. the standby LTM that was rebooted
D. an Auditor role that has access to the GUI
