A BIG-IP administrator is troubleshooting inconsistent configuration objects on device in device group. The administrator uses the command:

tmsh run /cm watch-devicegroup-device

and observes the following output:

devices <devgroup> device clu_id cl_orig cl_time last_sync
20:21 sync_test bigip_a 3273 bigip_a 14:27:00
20:21 sync_test bigip_b 1745 bigip_b 13:52:34 13:42:04
20:21 sync_test bigip_c 1745 bigip_a 13:52:34 13:42:04

What two conclusions can be made about this output? (Choose two answers)

  • A. bigip_a has the latest configuration.
  • B. Two of the devices in the device group have a configuration that is out of date.
  • C. The config from bigip_c was synced to the other devices in the device group during the most recent configsync.
  • D. The correct configuration exists on bigip_b and bigip_c because their cluster times match.
  • E. The correct configuration exists on bigip_a and bigip_c because their cluster times match.
