  • A. checking that the configurations are synchronized

Selected Answer: BD
The most probable reason for them to go active/active is the devices loose communication. This can because of firewall blocking or VLAN issues. D is best answer. B is second best. Checking the vlan config. It does not say check the vlan config on the LTM device. Just check the vlan config, so by that it could mean check the switch or whatever device. So rules out the point of saying nothing was changed on the LTM device.

Selected Answer: DE
Does not seem B to be correct. 1. Devices were working as expected 2. no changes has been made to the bigips 3. only external changes took place DE looks more valid

@SimonR2 I think BD is correct, because B : if you use a VLAN to create your device trust, if the VLAN is splitted, each F5 will not be able to reach the other F5 and will then be active/active D : Same, if the device trust is going through a Firewall (never seen this in prod...) and someone block the port used to do the failover, each F5 will go active too.

Yeah you are right, for some reason i read them as internal/external vlans. If they have made changes on the switch which affect the HA VLAN then we would almost certainly see it go active-active.

I believe the correct answer here is DE. Specifically because it says no changes were made on the f5 devices, only on the external equipment. If the devices have gone active active then they may have lost communication with each other or their time may now be out of sync.
