BIG-IP matches virtual servers based on specificity:

Exact match IP + port → highest priority

Exact IP, any port → next

Any IP, specific port → next

Any IP, any port → lowest priority

Step 4: Apply the rules to this case

Traffic: 1.1.1.1:8080

Matches:

host_8080_vs → IP = 1.1.1.1, Port = 8080 ✅ exact match

fwd_8080_vs → IP = any, Port = 8080 ✅ less specific

Other VS → less specific

Most specific match wins → host_8080_vs

✅ Answer:

B. host_8080_vs
