An LTM device is load balancing SIP traffic. An LTM Specialist notices that sometimes the SIP request is being load balanced to the same server as the initial connection.
Which setting in the UDP profile will make the LTM device more evenly distribute the SIP traffic?
An LTM device has a virtual server configured as a Performance Layer 4 virtual listening on 0.0.0.0:0 to perform routing of packets to an upstream router. The client machine at IP address 192.168.0.4 is attempting to contact a host upstream of the LTM device on IP address 10.0.0.99.
The network flow is asymmetrical, and the following TCP capture displays:
# tcpdump -nnni 0.0 'host 192.168.0.4 and host 10.0.0.99'
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on 0.0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

Which option within the fastL4 profile needs to be enabled by the LTM Specialist to prevent the LTM device from rejecting the flow?
What is the recommended procedure for upgrading a major TMOS release on a BIG-IP platform?
In preparation for a maintenance task, an LTM Specialist performs a "Force to Standby" on LTM device Unit 1. LTM device Unit 2 becomes active as expected. The maintenance task requires the reboot of Unit 1. Shortly after the reboot is complete, the LTM Specialist discovers that Unit 1 has become active and Unit 2 has returned to standby.
What would cause this behavior?
