F5 BIG-IP LTM Specialist: Maintain and Troubleshoot — Question 51

A device on the network is configured with the same IP address as the management address of the active LTM device, causing the management GUI to be inaccessible.
Which two methods should the LTM Specialist use to access the LTM device in order to change the management IP address? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Connect via ssh to the AOM IP address.
• B. Connect via ssh to the management address.
• C. Connect to the LTM device via serial connection.
• D. Connect a monitor and keyboard to the LTM device.
• E. Connect via ssh to the standby unit and connect via ssh across the serial link between the devices.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Connecting via the AOM IP address allows access to the LTM device without conflicting with the management address. Using a serial connection is also a valid method as it provides direct access to the device's console, bypassing network issues. The other options either attempt to connect to the unreachable management IP or do not provide a clear path to access the device.
