QuestionQ19

Installation, Licensing, and Initial Configuration

A BIG-IP Administrator identifies malicious brute-force attempts to access the BIG-IP device through SSH on the management interface. The BIG-IP Administrator must restrict SSH access to that management interface.

Where should this be configured?

  • A Network > Interfaces
  • B System > Configuration
  • C System > Platform
  • D Network > Self IPs
Explanation

The SSH IP Allow setting under System > Platform restricts which source IP addresses can use SSH to reach the BIG-IP management interface. Self IP port-lockdown settings apply separately to administrative exposure on traffic-plane Self IPs.
