Selected Answer: D
D. to allow both BIGIP devices to simultaneously use the same MAC address MAC masquerading is primarily used in contexts where multiple devices (such as in a redundant or high-availability setup) need to present the same MAC address to the network. This is typically done to ensure seamless failover and to maintain network stability when one device takes over the role of another without necessitating ARP cache updates on other network devices. This helps to avoid disruption in network connectivity and minimizes connection loss due to ARP cache refresh delays.
