Which three statements describe a characteristic of profiles. (Choose three.)

The correct answer is A. Default profiles cannot be created or deleted. B. Custom profiles are always based on a parent profile. C. A profile can be a child of one profile and a parent of another.. F5 BIG-IP profiles follow a strict inheritance model where default profiles are immutable and all custom profiles derive from a parent, allowing multi-level inheritance chains.

Why each option

F5 BIG-IP profiles follow a strict inheritance model where default profiles are immutable and all custom profiles derive from a parent, allowing multi-level inheritance chains.

ADefault profiles cannot be created or deleted.Correct

Default profiles (such as 'tcp' and 'http') are built into BIG-IP and cannot be created or deleted - they serve as the root ancestors for all custom profiles of that type.

BCustom profiles are always based on a parent profile.Correct

When creating a custom profile, you must select a parent profile, and the child inherits all settings not explicitly overridden, which is a foundational rule of the BIG-IP profile system.

CA profile can be a child of one profile and a parent of another.Correct

Profile inheritance can be chained so that a custom profile inherits from a default profile (making it a child) while also serving as the parent for another custom profile, enabling layered customization.

DAll changes to parent profiles are propagated to their child profiles.

Changes to a parent profile only affect child settings that have NOT been locally overridden - any setting explicitly customized in the child profile retains its custom value regardless of parent changes.

EWhile most virtual servers have at least one profile associated with them, it is not required.

Virtual servers of type Standard require at least a TCP profile to function, making profile association mandatory rather than optional.
