Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

The BIG-IPmanagement interface (MGMT port)is controlled throughSystem settings, not through the Network menu.
SSH access on the management interface is configured here:
System # Configuration # Device # General # SSH Access / SSH IP Allow
This section allows the administrator to:
* Enable or disable SSH service
* Restrict SSH access to specific IP addresses or subnets
* Apply security policies to the management interface
Why the other options are incorrect:
A). Network > Interfaces
* Used for data-plane physical interface settings, not management plane SSH restrictions.
B). Network > Self IPs
* Controls in-band management or data-plane access, not the dedicated management port.
D). System > Platform
* Used for hostname, time zone, LCD contrast, hardware settings - not SSH security on the management port.
Therefore, restricting SSH access to themanagement interfacemust be done under:
#System # Configuration # Device # General
Which corresponds toOption C.
