The BIG-IP Administrator needs to update access to the Configuration Utility to include the172.28.31.0/24and

From the TMOS Shell (tmsh), which command should the BIG-IP Administrator use to complete this task?

Suggested Answer: C Vote an answer

Access to the BIG-IP Configuration Utility (TMUI) is controlled through the/sys httpd allowlist.
This list defines which IP addresses or subnets are allowed to connect to the management web interface.
To allow two new subnets-172.28.31.0/24and172.28.65.0/24-the administrator mustaddboth subnets to the existing list without removing current entries.
In tmsh, subnet entries must be specified innetwork/netmask format, for example:
172.28.31.0/255.255.255.0
The correct tmsh command to append these networks is:
modify /sys httpd allow add { 172.28.31.0/255.255.255.0 172.28.65.0/255.255.255.0 } Why the other options are incorrect:
Option B:
* IPs are listed without masks, which is invalid for subnet-based access control.
* The system requiresnetwork/netmaskformat.
Option C:
* The command uses permit instead of allow, which is not a valid attribute of /sys httpd.
* The correct keyword must beallow.
Thus, onlyOption Acorrectly adds both permitted subnets in the proper tmsh format.
