When initially configuring the BIGIP 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. When performing initial configuration of an F5 BIG-IP system using the Configuration utility, fundamental network parameters for the management port, specifically its IP address and netmask, must be set.

Why each option
When performing initial configuration of an F5 BIG-IP system using the Configuration utility, fundamental network parameters for the management port, specifically its IP address and netmask, must be set.
The SCCP (Serial Console Configuration Protocol) is not a network interface that uses an IP address and netmask for initial configuration via the config utility.
The SCCP (Serial Console Configuration Protocol) is not a network interface that requires an IP address for initial configuration via the config utility.
Port lockdown settings for the SCCP are advanced security configurations typically applied after initial network connectivity is established, not during the basic IP address setup.
The netmask of the host via the management port is a critical network setting that defines the subnet for the BIG-IP's management interface, allowing proper network communication for administrative access.
The IP address of the host via the management port is a fundamental network identifier that enables administrators to connect to and manage the BIG-IP system through its web-based Configuration utility.
Port lockdown settings for the host via the management port are security configurations typically applied after the initial IP address and netmask are set, not during the very first basic network setup.
