   A company exposes a web application to the internet. They want to protect it from common web attacks (e.g., SQL injection, cross-site scripting) and also restrict access to certain URL paths based on user roles. They already have a BIG-IP in front of the application. Which approach should they take?

   • AConfigure an ASM/Advanced WAF policy on the BIG-IP to inspect traffic and block malicious requests, and use iRules or access policies to enforce URL-based access control.
   • BEnable SSL offloading and use the BIG-IP's built-in packet filter to block suspicious IP addresses.
   • CConfigure the BIG-IP to only allow traffic from known IP addresses and disable all other access.
   • DRely on the network firewall to block malicious traffic and configure the web server to enforce URL permissions.

   A company's web application serves users globally. The application's response time is slow because of high latency and large payloads. The servers are not CPU-bound, but bandwidth is expensive. Which BIG-IP feature would most directly reduce bandwidth usage and improve perceived performance for users?

   • AEnable caching of dynamic content on the BIG-IP.
   • BEnable TCP multiplexing to reduce the number of connections to the servers.
   • CEnable compression on the BIG-IP to reduce the size of responses sent to clients.
   • DConfigure a load-balancing algorithm that sends requests to the server with the lowest latency.
