F5-CA F5CAB4 Release Date

On a BIG-IP system, remote syslog server configuration is managed through the logging configuration framework. In the Configuration Utility, this is accessed via:

System > Logs > Configuration

This section allows the administrator to:

Define remote syslog destinations

Configure log publishers

Control which log types (system, audit, LTM, ASM, etc.) are forwarded to external syslog servers

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. System > Configuration > Local TrafficUsed for traffic management settings, not logging.

C. System > Logs > AuditDisplays audit log settings and content but does not configure remote syslog destinations.

D. System > Configuration > DeviceUsed for device-level settings such as hostname and platform configuration, not logging.

Therefore, the correct location to reconfigure BIG-IP to send logs to new syslog servers is System > Logs > Configuration.

===========

In F5 TMOS, administrative roles and user permissions are partition-specific. The User Manager role allows an account to manage other user accounts, but this authority is restricted to the administrative partitions to which the User Manager has been granted access.

Partition Awareness: If User1 (the User Manager) attempts to modify User2 and fails, while the full Administrator succeeds, it indicates that User2 resides in a partition where User1 does not have management rights.

Principle of Least Privilege: This principle dictates that a user should be given only the minimum level of access necessary to perform their job functions.

Procedural Solution: Granting "Administrator" privileges (Option B) would violate least privilege by giving User1 full control over all system settings and all partitions. Moving users between partitions (Options A and C) might disrupt the organizational security structure. The correct and most secure administrative action is to modify the partition access for User1 to include the partition where User2 is located. This enables User1 to manage User2’s properties while maintaining their restricted role as a User Manager.

The "Management Port" is distinct from TMM data ports. Configuration for global platform-level settings, including administrative access restrictions (IP Allow lists for SSH and HTTPS) for the management port, is found under System > Platform. This is a critical Control Plane hardening step to prevent unauthorized remote access

Here is the next batch of 10 questions from your document that are 100% related to BIG-IP

When restoring a UCS file to replacement hardware (RMA device), the license from the original device is not valid on the new system. If the UCS restore attempts to load the old license, BIG-IP reports license errors such as “License is not operational”, which can prevent traffic objects (including pools and virtual servers) from loading correctly.

To avoid this issue, F5 documentation recommends restoring the UCS without the license, using the following command:

tmsh load /sys ucs no-license

This approach:

Restores all configuration objects (LTM, networking, certificates, keys, etc.)

Excludes the invalid license tied to the old hardware

Allows the administrator to activate a new license separately on the replacement device

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. Remove the license information from the UCS archiveNot supported or recommended; UCS files should not be manually modified.

B. Revoke the license prior to restoringLicense revocation does not prevent the UCS from attempting to load license data.

D. Reactivate the license on the new device using the manual activation methodThis must be done after restoring the UCS and does not prevent the restore failure itself.

Therefore, the correct and supported method to avoid this error is C.
