When initially configuring the BIG-IP System using the config tool, which of the following parameters can be configured? (Choose 3)

The correct answer is B. Netmask of the management port C. IP address of the management port D. Default route of the management port. The BIG-IP config utility configures initial management interface networking - specifically the IP address, netmask, and default route - but does not handle hostname or port lockdown settings.

Why each option

The BIG-IP config utility configures initial management interface networking - specifically the IP address, netmask, and default route - but does not handle hostname or port lockdown settings.

ASystem hostname

System hostname is configured separately through the Setup Utility or web-based Configuration Utility, not through the config tool used for initial management port setup.

BNetmask of the management portCorrect

The netmask of the management port is one of the three networking parameters required to establish management connectivity. The config utility prompts for this value during initial setup to define the subnet in which the management IP resides.

CIP address of the management portCorrect

The IP address of the management port is the primary parameter configured via the config utility. Setting this address is the first step in enabling remote access to the BIG-IP web-based Configuration Utility and SSH management.

DDefault route of the management portCorrect

The default route for the management port is configured through the config utility to allow management traffic to reach hosts on different network segments. Without a default route, the BIG-IP management interface can only communicate with hosts on the same local subnet.

EPort lockdown of the management port

Port lockdown is a setting for self IP addresses that controls which protocols and services are permitted, not a management port parameter available in the initial config utility.
