In a content switching vServer configuration, which policy will be invoked next after CSPOL_7 has been invoked, given the bound priorities CSPOL_7 (100), CSPOL_5 (90), CSPOL_9 (110), CSPOL_4 (120), and CSPOL_8 (210)?

• A. CSPOL_4
• B. CSPOL_5
• C. CSPOL_8
• D. CSPOL_9

Answer: (D)

In content switching, policies bound to a vServer are evaluated in order of increasing priority, meaning the smallest numeric value runs first. If CSPOL_7 with priority 100 was invoked for this request, any policy with a lower priority (like CSPOL_5 at 90) would have been considered before, so the next one to be evaluated after 100 is the policy with the next higher priority: CSPOL_9 at 110. Therefore, CSPOL_9 is invoked next. The other options correspond to priorities either lower than 100 (which would have been checked earlier) or higher than 110 (which would come after 110), so they aren’t the next in line.
