The network interface show command output lists the value of "false" under the "Is Home" column. False signifies the LIF __________. (choose all that apply)
The correct answer is B. has failed over D. has been migrated. When 'Is Home' shows false in the network interface show output, the LIF has been moved off its home node or home port via failover or manual migration.

Why each option
When 'Is Home' shows false in the network interface show output, the LIF has been moved off its home node or home port via failover or manual migration.
Connectivity or link state is reflected in separate status fields; 'Is Home' being false only indicates the LIF's current location relative to its configured home, not whether it is connected.
Automatic failover moves a LIF away from its home node or port when a link or node failure is detected, causing 'Is Home' to display false. The LIF remains operational on a non-home port until conditions are restored and a revert or giveback occurs.
Administrative enable or disable state is tracked in the LIF's administrative status field, not in the 'Is Home' indicator.
A manual migration using the network interface migrate command also displaces the LIF from its home node or port, setting 'Is Home' to false. Unlike automatic failover, a manually migrated LIF stays in its migrated position until the administrator explicitly reverts it.
The 'Is Home' field reflects a completed positional state, not a transient in-progress migration; there is no separate in-migration indicator in this field.
