IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances Firmware V5.0 Solution Implementation Sample Questions:
A solution implementer is deploying four DataPower XI52 appliances in a production environment. The requirement is to evenly distribute clienttraffic across all four appliances without using an external load balancer. The firmware on these four appliances has the Application Optimization feature enabled. A standby Virtual IP address (VIP) has also been configured on each appliance with self-balancing enabled, and each VIP specifies the same standby group. No other appliance network settings have been changed. What should the solution implementer verify with the network team to ensure that this configuration will work? Ensure the network supports:
- A. gratuitous ARP.
- B. rapid spanning tree.
- C. virtual MAC takeover.
- D. multiple MAC addresses per Ethernet port.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
When debugging an SSL handshake using a packet capture, it is observed that there is a Client HELLO message followed by a Server HELLO message. Each of those packets have an associated Session ID that is different fromeach other. What does this indicate to the solution implementer?
- A. The SSL handshake is not required because of session caching.
- B. The server is not ready to do session caching.
- C. A new SSL session and a full handshake will be performed.
- D. A resumed SSL session and a shorter SSL handshake will be performed.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
A solution implementer creates a request to the XML Management Interface as shown in the following exhibit:
The XMLManagement Interface configuration on all appliances is configured with the property "SOAP Management URI" enabled. There may be other unsaved changes in this domain. Which of the following statements about the request are true? (choose 2)
- A. Using a URI for the request of /service/mgmt/current will be successful.
- B. Using no URIfor the request will be successful.
- C. The request will modify the logging target object's remote address property and set its other properties to their default values.
- D. Only the logging target configuration will be saved.
- E. Only the remote address property of the logging target object will be modified.
Correct Answer: B,E 🗳️
A solution implementer needs to immediately quiesce a DataPower appliance in the event of a power supply failure. How can the solution implementer satisfy this requirement?
- A. Create a Scheduled Processing Rule that parses the system log to execute the SOMA request to quiesce the appliance.
- B. Configure an Event Filter for the power supply failure event to execute the "appliancequiesce" command.
- C. Configure an Event Trigger for the power supply failure event to execute the "appliancequiesce" command.
- D. Configure an EventSubscription for the power supply failure event to execute the "appliance-quiesce" command.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
Message traffic from a customer purchasing system is passing SOAP messages through a DataPower XI52 appliance. A solution implementer uses a multi-protocol gateway to implement WS-Security to encrypt the complete message. Which of the following parameters should the solution implementer select to correctly configure the Encrypt action?
- A. Envelop Method: WS-Security Message Type : SOAP Message Document Crypto Map : store:///encrypt_message.xsl
- B. Envelop Method: Standard XML encryption Message Type : SOAP Message Document Crypto Map : store:///encrypt_message.xsl
- C. Envelop Method: Advanced Message Type : Raw XML document Document Crypto Map : store:///ws_security_encrypt.xsl
- D. Envelop Method: WSSec encryption Message Type: SOAP Message Document Crypto Map : None
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
