Pass BIG-IP Administration Data Plane Concepts (F5CAB2) Exam in 2026: Comprehensive F5CAB2 Dumps (V8.02) with Practice Questions

1. An organization needs to deploy an HTTP application on a BIG-IP system. The requirements specify hardware acceleration to enhance performance, while HTTP optimization features are not required.

What type of virtual server and associated protocol profile should be used to meet these requirements? (Choose one answer)

2. A BIG-IP Administrator has a cluster of devices.

What should the administrator do after creating a new Virtual Server on device 1?

3. A BIG-IP Administrator assigns the default HTTP health monitor to a pool that has three members listening on port 80. When the administrator connects to each pool member using the curl utility, two of the members respond with a status of 404 Not Found, while the third responds with 200 OK.

What will the pool show for member availability? (Choose one answer)

4. A BIG-IP Administrator is informed that traffic on interface 1.1 is expected to increase beyond the maximum bandwidth capacity of the link. There is a single VLAN on the interface.

What should the BIG-IP Administrator do to increase the total available bandwidth?

5. An application is configured so that the same pool member must be used for an entire session, and this behavior must persist across HTTP and FTP traffic. A user reports that a session terminates and must be restarted after the active BIG-IP device fails over to the standby device.

Which configuration settings should the BIG-IP Administrator verify to ensure proper behavior when BIG-IP failover occurs?

6. A BIG-IP Administrator assigns the default HTTP health monitor to a pool that has three members listening on port 80. When the administrator connects to each pool member using the curl utility, two of the members respond with a status of 404 Not Found, while the third responds with 200 OK.

What will the pool show for member availability? (Choose one answer)

7. A BIG-IP Administrator makes a configuration change to a Virtual Server on the Standby device of an HA pair. The HA pair is currently configured with Auto-Sync enabled.

What effect will the change have on the HA pair configuration? (Choose one answer)

8. Active connections to pool members are unevenly distributed. The load balancing method is Least Connections (member). Priority Group Activation is disabled.

What is a potential cause of the uneven distribution?

9. Which of the following lists the order of preference from most preferred to least preferred when BIG-IP processes and selects a virtual server? (Choose one answer)

10. Refer to the exhibit.

The network team creates a new VLAN on the switches. The BIG-IP Administrator creates a new VLAN and a Self IP on the BIG-IP device, but the servers on the new VLAN are NOT reachable from the BIG-IP device.

Which action should the BIG-IP Administrator take to resolve this issue?

11. The BIG-IP Administrator wants to provide quick failover between the F5 LTM devices that are configured as an HA pair with a single Self IP using the MAC Masquerade feature.

The administrator configures MAC masquerade for traffic-group-1 using the following command:

`tmsh modify /cm traffic-group traffic-group-1 mac 02:12:34:56:00:00`

However, the Network Operations team identifies an issue with using the same MAC address across multiple VLANs. As a result, the administrator enables Per-VLAN MAC Masquerade to ensure a unique MAC address per VLAN by running:

`tmsh modify /sys db tm.macmasqaddr_per_vlan value true`

What would be the resulting MAC address on a tagged VLAN with ID 1501? (Choose one answer)

12. Refer to the exhibit.

During a planned upgrade to a BIG-IP HA pair running Active/Standby, an outage to application traffic is reported shortly after the Active unit is forced to Standby. Reverting the failover resolves the outage.

What should the BIG-IP Administrator modify to avoid an outage during the next failover event? (Choose one answer)

13. What is the result when a BIG-IP Administrator manually disables a pool member? (Choose one answer)

14. A development team needs to apply a software fix and troubleshoot one of its servers. The BIG-IP Administrator needs to immediately remove all connections from the BIG-IP system to the back-end server. The BIG-IP Administrator checks the virtual server configuration and finds that a persistence profile is assigned to it.

What should the BIG-IP Administrator do to meet this requirement? (Choose one answer)

15. 1.Which virtual server type is being configured in the screenshot? (Choose one answer.)
