An F5 VE has been deployed into a VMware environment via an OVF file.
An administrator wants to configure the management IP address so the VE can be accessed for further setup.
Which two are valid methods for configuring the management-ip address? (Choose two.)
A newly deployed BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) in VMware requires initial configuration of its management-ip address so it can be accessed over the network. F5 provides several valid mechanisms during initial console access:
A . Running the config utility
The config script is available on new BIG-IP installations and VE deployments.
It launches a guided text-based wizard allowing configuration of:
Management IP
Netmask
Default route
This is a standard and recommended method during first-time setup.
B . Using TMSH with create sys management-ip
Administrators can enter TMSH directly from the console and run:
create sys management-ip <ip>/<mask>
The management-ip object resides under sys, not under ltm or any other module.
This is the correct tmsh method for defining the management interface address.
Why the other options are incorrect:
C . create ltm management-ip
There is no such object under /ltm.
LTM handles traffic objects (virtual servers, pools), not system management interfaces.
D . Running the setup command
The setup command is used for general system configuration but does not configure the management-ip.
It is not the supported method for initial management IP assignment on VE deployments.
Therefore, the valid methods are running the config utility and using the sys management-ip command within TMSH.
