An administrator has made several changes to a virtual server on the active BIG-IP in a sync-failover device group. The changes are not yet propagated to the standby. The admin wants to push the changes immediately using the Configuration Utility. What should the admin do?

Navigate to System > Configuration > Device, and click Save.

Navigate to Network > Interfaces, select the active interface, and click Update.

Navigate to Local Traffic > Virtual Servers, select the virtual server, and click Force Sync.

Navigate to Device Management > Device Groups, select the device group, and click Sync.

A BIG-IP admin is troubleshooting a config sync failure between two devices in a device group. The devices are in different data centers, and the admin has confirmed that the management IPs are reachable from each other. The device trust was established a year ago and has not been modified. The sync was working until last week. What should the admin investigate first?

Check if the certificates used for device trust have expired.

Check if the config sync port is blocked by a firewall.

Check if the devices are running different BIG-IP versions.

Check if the standby device has been rebooted.

A BIG-IP administrator prefers using the command line for all administrative tasks. The admin has just made changes to a pool on the active device in a device group and wants to sync the configuration to the standby. Which tmsh command should the admin run?
