A BIG-IP device has only LTM and ASM modules provisioned. Both have nominal provisioning level. The BI6-IP Administrator wants to dedicate more resources to the LTM module. The ASM module must remain

The correct answer is A. modify/sys provision asm level minimum. To dedicate more resources to LTM while keeping ASM enabled, the administrator should reduce ASM's resource allocation to a minimum level using the tmsh command.

Question

A BIG-IP device has only LTM and ASM modules provisioned. Both have nominal provisioning level. The BI6-IP Administrator wants to dedicate more resources to the LTM module. The ASM module must remain enabled. Which tmsh command should the BIG-IP Administrator execute to obtain the desired result?

Options

  • Amodify/sys provision asm level minimum
  • Bmodify /sys provision Itm level dedicated
  • Cmodify /sys provision asm level none
  • Dmodify /sys provision Itm level minimum

Why each option

To dedicate more resources to LTM while keeping ASM enabled, the administrator should reduce ASM's resource allocation to a minimum level using the tmsh command.

Amodify/sys provision asm level minimumCorrect

Setting the ASM provisioning level to 'minimum' frees up resources from ASM, making them available for other modules like LTM, while still keeping the ASM module enabled and functional. This achieves the goal of dedicating more resources to LTM without disabling ASM.

Bmodify /sys provision Itm level dedicated

There is no 'dedicated' provisioning level for BIG-IP modules; levels typically include 'none', 'minimum', 'nominal', and 'large'.

Cmodify /sys provision asm level none

Setting ASM to 'none' would disable the ASM module entirely, which contradicts the requirement that the ASM module must remain enabled.

Dmodify /sys provision Itm level minimum

Setting LTM to 'minimum' would reduce resources for LTM, which is the opposite of the desired result to dedicate more resources to LTM.
