Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The screenshot shown is from theUser Administrationsection of the BIG-IP GUI.
This section controls:
* Root and Admin passwords
* SSH Access
* SSH IP Allow settings
However,it does not contain any controls for restricting access to the WebUI (TMUI).
BIG-IP does not provide TMUI access restrictions from this part of the GUI.
Access to the web-based Configuration Utility is controlled by thehttpd allow list, configured through TMSH:
tmsh modify /sys httpd allow { <IP/subnet> }
This setting is not displayed in the User Administration panel, and in many BIG-IP versions, the httpd allow list isonly configurable from the CLI, not the GUI.
Therefore, the administrator cannot find the setting in the screen shown because:
* TMUI access restriction isnotlocated in this GUI section
* It must be configured usingtmshunder/sys httpd allow
This is whyOption Ais correct.
