Disabling switch ports sounds like it could cause more issues than it solves. I feel like the standby option is safer, but I’m not completely confident.
I remember a similar question where we had to decide on the best way to take a device offline. I think forcing the BIG-IP to standby is the right approach here.
I think moving resources to a new Traffic Group might be a good way to minimize disruptions, but I'm not entirely sure how that would work in practice.
This looks like a straightforward question about user permissions in Cisco Transport Controller. I'll carefully read through the options and think about which user type would have the broadest access to provisioning settings.
I don't know about you, but I'd love to see the BIG-IP Administrator do a backflip while disabling the switch ports. That would make this maintenance activity way more exciting!
Option C seems like the easiest solution, but it could cause a brief outage while the device transitions to standby. I'd rather avoid that if possible.
I think option B is the best choice here. Moving resources to a new Traffic Group will allow the maintenance to be performed with minimal disruption to the active traffic.
