F5 F5CAB4 Dumps Questions Answers

In the BIG-IP Configuration Utility, status icons provide immediate health information. A red diamond specifically indicates that the object itself is administratively disabled. When a virtual server is disabled, BIG-IP will not accept or process traffic for that virtual server, regardless of pool or node state.

If all pool members were down, the virtual server would typically show a yellow triangle (available but no resources).

If all pool members were disabled, the virtual server would usually still be enabled but unavailable due to pool status, not shown as a red diamond.

Protocol mismatch (HTTPS sent to HTTP) does not change the administrative status icon of the virtual server.

Therefore, the red diamond clearly indicates the virtual server is disabled, making D the correct answer.

Managing how a BIG-IP communicates with external management services like Syslog is a core Control Plane task. The Configuration Utility organizes these settings under the "System" menu. Specifically, to define remote logging destinations and formats, the administrator must navigate to System > Logs > Configuration to ensure the Control Plane correctly forwards system events to external collectors

Management of the device's identity and primary out-of-band connectivity is a central Control Plane responsibility.

Platform Settings: The System > Platform section of the Configuration Utility is used to manage global hardware and system parameters, including the hostname, management IP address, and time zone.

Management vs. Data Plane: It is critical to distinguish between the management interface and TMM data interfaces. While data plane IPs (Self IPs) are configured under Network > Self IPs, the dedicated management port settings are grouped with other platform-level configurations.

Access Control: This area is also used to manage administrative security, such as restricting SSH or HTTPS access to specific management subnets or IP addresses.

Impact of Change: Changing the management IP will immediately disconnect any active GUI or SSH sessions using the current management IP. The administrator must reconnect using the newly assigned address.
