A BIG-IP administrator is responsible for managing software images across a fleet of devices. To ensure consistency and reduce the risk of upgrade failures, which practice should the administrator adopt?

Use the same image for all devices regardless of hardware platform.

Upload images to all devices simultaneously to save time.

Keep only the latest image on each device to save disk space.

Document the current version and upgrade history for each device.

A company runs a BIG-IP device on version 15.1.5. They need to upgrade to version 17.1.0 to meet a compliance requirement. The administrator has downloaded the 17.1.0 image. What is the most appropriate action before attempting the upgrade?

Upgrade to an intermediate version, such as 16.1.0, before upgrading to 17.1.0.

Use the 'tmsh load sys config' command to load the new version.

Perform a factory reset and then install 17.1.0.

Install the 17.1.0 image directly, as it is the latest version.

What is the purpose of the 'Rollback' option in the BIG-IP software management interface?

To reboot the BIG-IP without loading any software

To delete the current software image from /shared/images

To restore the factory default configuration

To revert the BIG-IP to the previously installed software version

A BIG-IP administrator is about to upgrade a production device. To ensure the ability to roll back if the upgrade fails, what should the administrator do before starting the upgrade?

Disable all virtual servers to prevent traffic during the upgrade.

Remove the previous version from the boot list to free space.

Take a configuration backup and note the current version.

Upload the new image to a different directory to avoid overwriting.
