301b Exam Questions Answered: F5 Candidates' FAQ
F5 LTM Specialist: Maintain & Troubleshoot is an official exam run by F5 under exam code 301b. Passing it awards the F5 Networks Certification Study Materials certification, which sits at the Technology Specialist tier. It also counts toward related credentials such as 301a – BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Architect, Setup & Deploy, F5 Certified! Technology Specialist, BIG-IP LTM. Certified professionals remain in shorter supply than the market wants, which is precisely why this exam keeps showing up in conversations about better roles and better pay.
The F5 LTM Specialist: Maintain & Troubleshoot exam gives you 90 minutes to work through Not officially published (approx. ~80–100+ typical) questions. That is a tight ratio, and it punishes candidates who get emotionally attached to any single item. The fix is mechanical: answer what you know, flag what you do not, and keep moving. A few full-length timed runs in the Actual4Exams test engine, with its randomized question order, will calibrate your pace far better than untimed reading ever could.
The official fee for F5 LTM Specialist: Maintain & Troubleshoot is USD 180, and 245 is what passing takes. The uncomfortable part: retakes cost the full USD 180 again, which makes preparation the cheapest line item in this whole project. Before booking, put yourself through repeated scored sessions with the Actual4Exams practice tests and compare results over time; a stable margin above the passing line, not a single lucky run, is when you are ready.

An LTM Specialist is investigating reports from users that SSH connections are being terminated unexpectedly. SSH connections are load balanced through a virtual server. The users experiencing this problem are running SQL queries that take upwards of 15 minutes to return with no screen output.

- A. TCP idle timeout
- B. UDP IP ToS
- C. The virtual server has no persistence.
- D. The pool has Reselect Retries set to 0.

Which steps should the LTM Specialist take to capture the data payload successfully while ensuring no other virtual servers are affected?
- A. A new FastL4 profile should be created and applied to the virtual server with PVA acceleration disabled. Then the packet capture tcpdump -ni vlan301 should be executed on the command line interface.
- B. The standard FastL4 profile should have PVA acceleration disabled. Then the packet capture tcpdump -ni vlan301 should be executed on the command line interface.
- C. The packet capture tcpdump -ni vlan301 should be executed on the command line interface. There is no need to change profiles or PVA acceleration.

pool pool_a
} else {
pool pool_b
}
} - B. when HTTP_REQUEST { if {[HTTP::header exists X-Forwarded-For]}{ pool pool_a } else { pool pool_b } }
