When initially configuring the BIG-IP system using the config utility, which two parameters can be set. (Choose two.)
The correct answer is D. the netmask of the host via the management port E. the IP address of the host via the management port. The BIG-IP config utility initial setup only configures the management interface, allowing the administrator to set its IP address and subnet mask to establish remote connectivity.

Why each option
The BIG-IP config utility initial setup only configures the management interface, allowing the administrator to set its IP address and subnet mask to establish remote connectivity.
The SCCP netmask is a post-setup configuration item set through the full management interface, not available during the initial config utility.
The SCCP IP address is configured after initial setup is complete, not during the first-time config utility run.
Port lockdown settings for the SCCP are an advanced network configuration option made after the system is accessible via management, not during initial setup.
The management port subnet mask is one of the two parameters configurable in the initial setup utility, as it is required alongside the IP address to define the management network.
The management port IP address is the primary parameter set during initial configuration, enabling the administrator to reach the BIG-IP remotely via the GUI or SSH for all subsequent configuration.
Port lockdown settings for the management port are not presented in the initial config utility; that utility is limited to the IP address and netmask needed for basic access.
