pool Pool1
}
elseif {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/URI2/" } {
pool Pool2
}
elseif {[string tolower [HTTP::uri]] contains "/URI3/" } {
pool Pool3
}

Given the following request: http://www.example.comURI1/index.html?fu=bar &pass=1234

A device group is made up of four members: LTM-A, LTM-B, LTM-C, and LTM-D. An LTM Specialist makes a configuration change on LTM-B. Later, a different LTM Specialist notices a "changes pending" message on all devices. When logged into LTM-D, the LTM Specialist attempts to config-sync to the device group. The sync operation fails.
Why is the LTM Specialist on LTM-D unable to synchronize the configuration to the group?

An LTM device is used to load balance web content over a secure channel.
The developers of the web content have done a trace using an HTTP profiler application. They believe that allowing the LTM device to compress traffic to the client will improve performance. The client can utilize GZIP or deflate compression algorithms.
An LTM Specialist must implement the compression.
The LTM Specialist has completed the following actions:
1. Create the relevant profile.
2. Apply the relevant profile to the virtual server (VS).
After applying the relevant profile, the LTM device is failing to compress the traffic. Instead, the traffic is being served with an error.
What is the problem?
An LTM Specialist troubleshooting an issue looks at the following /var/log/ltm entries:
Oct 2 04:52:42 slot1/tmm7 crit tmm7[21734]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)

Oct 2 06:47:05 slot1/tmm5 crit tmm5[21732]: 01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.143.109.5 to 10.143.147.150:53 (proto 17)
Which configuration item should the LTM Specialist review to fix the issue?
An LTM Specialist has a single HTTPS virtual server doing SSL termination. No server SSL profile is defined. The pool members are on the internal VLAN answering on HTTP port 80. Users with certain browsers are experiencing issues.
Which two locations are most appropriate to gather packets needed to determine the SSL issue? (Choose two.)
An LTM device is monitoring pool members on port 80. The LTM device is using an HTTP monitor with a send string of GET / and a blank receive string.
What would cause the pool members to be marked down?
Which iRule will instruct the client's browser to avoid caching HTML server responses?
The LTM Specialist is writing a custom HTTP monitor for a web application and has viewed the content by accessing the site directly via their browser. The monitor continually fails. The monitor configuration is:
ltm monitor http /Common/exampleComMonitor {
defaults-from /Common/http
destination *:*
interval 5
recv "Recent Searches"
send "GET /app/feed/current\?uid=20145 HTTP/1.1\\r\\nHost: www.example.com\\r\\nAccept-EncodinG. gzip, deflate\\r\\nConnection: close\\r\\n\\r\\n"
time-until-up 0
timeout 16
}
A trace shows the following request and response:
Request:
GET /app/feed/current?uid=20145 HTTP/1.1
Host www.example.com
Accept-Encoding gzip, deflate
Connection: close
Response:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily

A layer 2 nPath routing configuration has been deployed. A packet capture contains a client connection packet with the following properties:
Source IP:
Destination IP:
At which two locations could the packet capture have been taken? (Choose two.)
What is the correct command to reset an LTM device to its default settings?
An HA pair of LTM devices configured in Active-Standby mode stops responding to traffic and causes an outage. The Active device becomes Standby, but the partner device stays in Standby mode instead of taking over as Active. A reboot and restart of the services brings the LTM device to Active mode for a short time, but then it goes into Standby mode again.
Which two configuration components caused this condition? (Choose two.)
