Which two of the following tasks must be accomplished to monitor servers and connections in...

To monitor servers and connections in a load-balancing environment—specifically for F5 BIG-IP load balancers—SolarWinds requires that you:

Enable CLI polling: This is necessary for SolarWinds to collect configuration and health data from network devices.

Enable F5 iControl polling: F5 iControl API allows SolarWinds to collect load balancer details, including virtual servers and pools, for deep monitoring of server and connection health.

Adding Cisco Nexus devices relates to switch monitoring and is not required for F5/BIG-IP load balancer server connection monitoring.

Exact Extract from Official Guide:

“To fully monitor F5 BIG-IP load balancers, enable both SNMP and CLI polling, and configure F5 iControl API credentials for device access and load balancing visibility.”
