Discuss F5 Networks F5CAB1 Exam Topic 3 Question 6

Which of the following are resource allocation (provisioning) settings for BIG-IP modules?

(Choose two.)

AMaximum

BNominal

CDedicated

DLimited

Suggested Answer: B, C

BIG-IP module provisioning determines how CPU, memory, and disk resources are allocated to each licensed module. F5 defines a specific set of supported provisioning levels.

Valid provisioning (resource allocation) settings

Nominal

Allocates a standard, balanced amount of system resources to a module.

Intended for typical production deployments where multiple modules may be provisioned at the same time.

Dedicated

Allocates all available system resources to a single module.

Used when the BIG-IP device is dedicated to running only one module (for example, ASM-only or APM-only deployments).

No other modules can be provisioned when one is set to Dedicated.

These two options are valid and supported provisioning levels.

Why the other options are incorrect

Maximum

This is not a valid BIG-IP provisioning level.

BIG-IP does not use ''Maximum'' as a resource allocation setting.

Limited

This is also not a supported provisioning level.

BIG-IP uses levels such as None, Minimal, Nominal, and Dedicated (module-dependent), not Limited.

I’m leaning towards "Nominal" and "Dedicated," but I might be mixing it up with other provisioning concepts we covered.

I feel like "Maximum" and "Limited" were mentioned in a practice question, but I can't recall which one is definitely correct.

I think I remember something about "Dedicated" being a resource allocation setting, but I'm not entirely sure about the second option.
