Question # 3

A device group is made up of four members: LTM-A, LTM-B, LTM-C, and LTM-D. An LTMSpecialist makes a configuration change on LTM-B. Later, a different LTM Specialistnotices a "changes pending" message on all devices. When logged into LTM-D, the LTMSpecialist attempts to config-sync to the device group. The sync operation fails.Why is the LTM Specialist on LTM-D unable to synchronize the configuration to the group?
