The BIG-IP Administrator received a ticket that an authorized user is attempting to connect to the Configuration Utility from a jump host and is being denied.
The HTTPD allow list is configured as:
sys httpd {
allow { 172.28.31.0/255.255.255.0 172.28.65.0/255.255.255.0 }
}
The jump host IP is172.28.32.22.
What command should the BIG-IP Administrator use to allow HTTPD access for this jump host?

What command should the BIG-IP Administrator use to allow HTTPD access for this jump host?
Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer
The HTTPD allow list controls which IP addresses or subnets may access the Configuration Utility (TMUI) on the BIG-IP system. The Administrator already has two subnets allowed and needs to add asingle host IPto the existing list.
* The object/sys httpd allowsupports actions such asadd,delete, andreplace-all-with.
* Because the goal is toaddone more entry without removing the existing permitted subnets, the correct command is:
modify /sys httpd allow add { 172.28.32.22 }
This appends the new host to the existing list while preserving the previously configured networks.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* Option A (replace-all-with)wouldoverwritethe entire allow list, removing existing permitted subnets- unacceptable.
* Option B (delete)wouldremovethe existing networks and not add the required host.
Therefore, the correct administrative action is toaddthe jump host's IP.
