Which of the following is a required component to deploy an iApp template successfully?

Question

Options

• AVirtual IP (VIP) address
• BSSL certificate
• CLicense for Application Firewall (AFM) module
• DExternal authentication server

• A
  88% (21)
• B
  4% (1)
• C
  8% (2)

Explanation

A Virtual IP (VIP) address is mandatory for any iApp template deployment because it defines the network entry point where client traffic arrives - without it, BIG-IP has no listening address to associate the application service with, making the entire configuration non-functional. SSL certificates (B) are only required when the iApp template is specifically configured for HTTPS/TLS termination; many iApp deployments handle plain HTTP, TCP, or UDP traffic with no certificate needed. The AFM license (C) is an optional, separately licensed module for advanced firewall functionality and is not a prerequisite for deploying a standard iApp template. An external authentication server (D) is an optional integration for environments that need AAA services and is never universally required by iApp deployment itself.

Memory tip: Think "VIP = entry point, always present" - just like every building needs a door before you can decorate the interior, every iApp needs a VIP before any other configuration can receive traffic.
