Compression is a feature that reduces the size of the data that is exchanged between the Citrix ADC appliance and the clients or servers. Compression can be performed by either the appliance or the servers, depending on the configuration and the availability of the compression feature on both ends. If the servers have the compression feature installed, they can automatically compress the responses before sending them to the appliance, regardless of the ‘Accept Encoding’ header in the requests. This can cause a problem if the appliance is also configured to remove the ‘Accept Encoding’ header from all requests, as it will prevent the appliance from detecting that the responses are already compressed and applying its own compression policy. Therefore, the correct answer is B. The servers are automatically compressing all responses.

In Azure Deployments for example you use this. The correct answer is the Independent Network Configuration (INC). https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-adc/current-release/deploying-vpx/deploy-vpx-on-azure/configure-ha-pair-with-alb-floating-ip-disabled-mode.htm

Correct Answer: B. An HTTP-ECV monitor with the keyword in the Basic Parameters - Receive String field

Short Explanation with reference:

An HTTP-ECV (Extended Content Verification) monitor is a type of monitor that allows the Citrix ADC appliance to check the health and availability of the web servers by sending HTTP requests and verifying the responses. An HTTP-ECV monitor can be configured with different parameters, such as Send String, Receive String, and Reverse, to customize the monitoring behavior. The Send String parameter specifies the HTTP request line that the monitor sends to the server. The Receive String parameter specifies the expected response from the server that indicates a successful probe. The Reverse parameter specifies whether to mark the service as UP or DOWN based on the presence or absence of the Receive String in the response.

In this scenario, the administrator needs to create a custom monitor that will look for a specific keyword response from the website, which will be used to keep services in an UP state. To meet this requirement, the administrator can create an HTTP-ECV monitor with the keyword in the Basic Parameters - Receive String field. This will make the monitor expect the keyword in the response from the server, and mark the service as UP if it finds it. The other options are incorrect, as they either use the wrong parameter or the wrong option for the monitoring task. For example, option A uses the Special Parameters - Receive String field, which is not a valid parameter for an HTTP-ECV monitor. Option C uses the Reverse option, which will make the monitor mark the service as DOWN if it finds the keyword in the response. Option D uses the Basic Parameters - Send String field, which will make the monitor send the keyword to the server, instead of looking for it in the response.

Correct Answer: B. Two-arm

Short Explanation with reference:

A two-arm deployment is a common scenario where the Citrix ADC appliance has two network interfaces, one connected to the DMZ network and the other connected to the internal network1. This allows the appliance to act as a gateway between the two networks and provide load balancing, security, and optimization features for the applications hosted on the internal servers2. A two-arm deployment also provides better isolation and protection for the internal network than a one-arm deployment, where the appliance has only one network interface connected to a switch or router that spans both networks3. A transparent mode is a packet forwarding mode that enables the appliance to act as a Layer 2 device and bridge packets that are not destined for it4. A forward proxy mode is a feature that enables the appliance to act as an intermediary between clients and servers on the internet, caching web content and applying policies. Neither of these modes are relevant for the scenario described in the question.

Correct Answer: C. POL_14

Short Explanation with reference:

The Citrix ADC appliance evaluates the rewrite policies in the order of their priority, from lowest to highest. The priority is a numerical value that indicates the relative importance of the policy. The lower the priority, the higher the importance. The gotoPriorityExpression is an expression that specifies the next policy to evaluate after the current policy is hit. The expression can be either a priority value or the keyword END, which indicates that no further policies are evaluated. Therefore, in this scenario, the policy evaluation order is as follows:

• POL_12 is hit first, as it has the lowest priority (90). It has a gotoPriorityExpression of NEXT, which means that the next policy in priority order is evaluated.
• POL_15 is evaluated next, as it has the next lowest priority (100). It has a gotoPriorityExpression of END, which means that no further policies are evaluated.
• POL_13 and POL_14 are not evaluated, as they have higher priorities (101 and 120) than POL_15, and POL_15 has a gotoPriorityExpression of END.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. POL_14, as it is the policy that is evaluated last, considering POL_12 is hit first.

Correct Answer: A. It replaces the date header in the HTTP response with the Citrix ADC system time in a conventional date format.

Short Explanation with reference:

A rewrite action is a set of rules that defines how the Citrix ADC appliance modifies the requests and responses that it processes. A rewrite action can use different parameters, such as target, expression, and pattern, to specify what part of the message to modify and how to modify it. The target parameter specifies the part of the message that is modified, such as the header or the body. The expression parameter specifies the new value that replaces the target. The pattern parameter specifies a string or a regular expression that matches the part of the target that is replaced.

In this scenario, the administrator configured a rewrite action as follows:

add rewrite action sync_date replace http.res.date.sys.time

This rewrite action uses the replace parameter, which replaces the entire target with the expression. The target is http.res.date, which is the date header in the HTTP response. The expression is sys.time, which is a built-in function that returns the Citrix ADC system time in a conventional date format, such as “Wed, 06 Sep 2023 12:45:12 GMT”. Therefore, this rewrite action replaces the date header in the HTTP response with the Citrix ADC system time in a conventional date format. This can be useful for synchronizing the time between the server and the client, or for preventing caching issues.

Therefore, the correct way to interpret this rewrite action is A. It replaces the date header in the HTTP response with the Citrix ADC system time in a conventional date format.
