What is the tmsh command to list the IP ranges that can access the management interface via SSH? (Choose one answer)
Suggested Answer: B Vote an answer
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From BIG-IP Administration Control Plane Administration documents:
On BIG-IP systems, SSH access restrictions are configured under the /sys sshd object. The allow property defines the IP addresses or networks permitted to connect to the management interface using SSH.
The list command is used to display the current configuration settings.
Therefore, tmsh list /sys sshd allow correctly displays the configured allowed IP ranges.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A (show) displays runtime or statistical information, not configuration values.
C and D incorrectly reference /etc/hosts.allow; BIG-IP manages SSH access through TMSH objects, not by directly listing host files in this context.
