Selected Answers: C


To change the management IP address of a BIG-IP device using the Configuration Utility (GUI), the administrator must navigate to System > Platform. In this section, the administrator can set the Management Port configuration to "Manual" and then update the IP address, network mask, and management route. Changing this address will terminate the current management session, requiring the administrator to log back in using the new IP.
Why other options are incorrect
❌ A. Network > VLANs: This menu is used to create and configure Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) for data traffic, not for the management interface.
❌ B. Network > Interfaces: This section is used to manage physical or trunk interfaces for data processing. It does not control the dedicated management port's IP address.
❌ D. Network > Self IPs: Self IPs are virtual interfaces assigned to specific VLANs to facilitate communication with other network devices for application traffic. They are distinct from the management IP, which is strictly for administrative access.
