I think it is E. Connection mirroring is an optional feature of the BIG-IP system, designed to ensure that when failover occurs, in-process SNAT connections are not dropped. You can enable mirroring on each SNAT that is associated with a floating virtual address. On the Main tab, click Local Traffic > Address Translation . The SNAT List screen displays a list of existing SNATs. In the Name column, click the relevant SNAT name. For the Stateful Failover Mirror setting, select the check box. Click Update. In addition to enabling connection mirroring on a SNAT, you must also specify a mirroring IP address on this device. Other traffic groups in the device group use this address when mirroring their connections to this device.
