The LTM devices LTM3 and LTM2 have four Traffic Groups defined with approximately the sar of failover objects defined in each group.
- Traffic Groups A and C have Default Device set to LTM1
- Traffic Groups Band D have Default Device set to LTM2.
- Traffic Groups B and C do NOT have Auto Failback enabled. Traffic Groups A and D have Auto Failback enabled with a timeout value of 60 seconds.
- Traffic Groups A and D have Auto Fallback enabled with a timeout value of 60 seconds. Both LTM devices are healthy and able to pass traffic for any Traffic Group. LTM1 loses connectivity on interface 1.4. The LTM Specialists notified 60 seconds after the interface
goes down.
What is the state of the Traffic Groups on each LTM device?

  1. LTM1: Traffic Group C
    LTM2: Traffic Groups A, B, and 0
  2. LTM1: No Traffic Groups
    LTM2: Traffic Groups A, B, C, and D
  3. LTM1: Traffic Groups A, B, C, and D
    LTM2: No Traffic Groups
  4. LTM1: Traffic Groups B and C
    LTM2: Traffic Groups A and 0

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If the 1.4 port is down and failsafe is triggered, the whole machine will become a standby, and all Traffic Groups will be cut away, and no Traffic Group will remain.
