- C. Always transparent addressing.
- D. Always destination transparency.
Answer:
A
Question 2
What is the purpose of ‘Peer Affinity’ on the Interceptor?
- A. To keep similarly sized SteelHead models peering with each other.
- B. To ensure load is distributed evenly throughout the cluster.
- C. To maximize the benefits of SDR by maintaining SteelHead peering relationships.
- D. To ensure asymmetrically routed connections are optimized.
- E. To make sure cluster SteelHeads remain connected to the same Interceptor.
Answer:
A
Question 3
What is the first step in optimizing an SMTPS session?
- A. An unencrypted SMTP connection is intercepted and optimized, before a START-TLS is issued.
- B. START-TLS is issued immediately by the client and intercepted by the client side SteelHead.
- C. SteelHeads do not currently support optimizing SMTPS sessions.

Answer:
A
Question 4
A SteelHead is running RiOS v8.6 and has an inpath0_0 IP address of 192.168.1.10. It is later
upgraded from v8.6 to v9.0. As part of an IT project, the inpath0_0 IP address is changed to
10.10.10.10 and the configuration saved. Some time passes and the administrator decides to revert
to RiOS v 8.6. It hasn’t been factory reset. The appliance boots and the Management Console User
Interface is reachable, however, optimization no longer works. What has happened?
- A. The web GUI SSL certificate is no longer trusted and the services require a restart.
- B. The licenses are no longer valid and will need to be replaced and the services restarted.
- C. It is not possible to revert to older versions of RiOS and the optimization service has stopped as a precaution.
- D. The configuration has reverted to the one running under v8.6 and the inpath0_0 IP address is back to 192.168.1.10.
- E. The configuration has been lost and the appliance is running factory default settings.
Answer:
D
Question 5
Which deployment options are available to Virtual SteelHead on ESXi?
- A. Physical In-path (with Riverbed bypass NIC)
- B. Virtual In-path
- C. Out-of-path
- D. Server-side Out-of-Path
- E. All of the above
Answer:
A,B,C
Question 6
A customer uses a single URL for a service that uses many servers with different certificates. What
SSL options should be enabled to enhance performance?
- A. Passive key derivation
- B. SSL proxy support and SNI (Server name indication)
- C. SSL advanced mode
- D. Early start/late finish
Answer:
C
Question 7
The SteelHead REST API connectivity can be used for which of the following?
- A. To synchronize layer 7 signatures and QoS configurations with the NetProfiler.
- B. To export QoS and other statistics to the SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead (SCC).
- C. To push secure transport configuration from the SCC to the SteelHeads NetProfiler.
- D. To push topology information to the SteelHeads from the SCC for path selection.
- E. To synchronize layer 7 signatures with the NetShark devices.
Answer:
B
Question 8
You plan to downgrade a SteelHead from RiOS v9.0.1 (Apr 17 2015) to 8.6.3 (Aug 7 2015). The
appliance has not run v8.6.3 previously. Will this be successful?
- A. No, downgrades are only permitted if the target version was previously installed.
- B. No, it is not possible to downgrade RiOS.
- C. Yes, the configuration will be migrated successfully during any downgrade.
- D. Yes, v8.6.3 is a chronologically newer version.
Answer:
A
Question 9
A SteelHead is deployed in a VLAN bridge. Which VLAN ID should be configured on the in-path
interface to support this environment?
- A. 1
- B. 100
- C. 200
- D. No configuration is necessary as LAN and WAN interfaces are on access ports
- E. It will require an in-path interface for each VLAN
Answer:
C
Question 10
You are using TCPdumps on the server-side SteelHead to troubleshoot an application connectivity
issue. The following filter is used on the TCPdump:
(host <client IP> and host <server IP>) or (host <server IP> and host <steelheadinpath IP>) or (proto
gre and ((ip[40:4] = <hex server IP>
and
ip[44:4] = <hex client IP>) or (ip[40:4] = <hex client IP> and ip[44:4] = <hex server IP>)) or (port 7850)
What part of the filter captures the traffic which the Interceptor has applied NAT to?
- A. (ip[40:4] = <hex client IP> and ip[44:4] = <hex server IP>)
- B. (host <server IP> and host <steelhead inpath IP>)
- C. (proto gre and ((ip[40:4] = <hex server IP> and ip[44:4] = <hex client IP>)
- D. (host <client IP> and host <server IP>)
Answer:
A
Question 11
You have a client and server using SMB2 signing. You have SMB optimization enabled on your
SteelHeads, but SMB signing is not enabled on the server-side SteelHead. What is the effect on this
on an SMB connection which the SteelHeads attempt to optimize?
- A. Any SMB2 connections between this client and server will be shown as optimized with protocol errors. No latency optimization or data reduction can be performed.
- B. SMB2 connections between this client and server, which are initiated at the client side will be fully optimized with latency reduction.
- C. Any SMB2 connections between this client and server will be optimized using data reduction only. No latency optimization will take place.
- D. Any SMB2 connections between this client and server will be optimized using latency optimization only No data reduction will take place.
Answer:
C
Question 12

Question 13
If data store synchronization is to be successful, which of these must be true?
- A. There must be a resilient path between the SteelHeads to prevent a split brain situation.
- B. The in-path IP addresses must be reachable from each other and connected physically in-path.
- C. The SteelHeads must be the same model and run the same RiOS version.
- D. The master must be the same or larger data store than the backup.
- E. The SteelHeads must be in a serial cluster arrangement.
Answer:
B

will give the best performance?
- A. Full Transparency
- B. Full Transparency with reset
- C. Correct Addressing
- D. Port Transparency
- E. Any of the above, because performance is not affected by these
Answer:
