A BIG-IP 7000 series is running v13.1.4. The admin wants to upgrade to v15.1.6. The upgrade matrix shows that v13.1.x can upgrade directly to v15.1.x. However, the release notes for v15.1.6 state that the 7000 series requires a BIOS update before upgrading. What should the admin do?

Upgrade to v14.1.x first, then to v15.1.6

Skip the upgrade and stay on v13.1.4

Upgrade directly to v15.1.6 without the BIOS update

Apply the BIOS update first, then upgrade to v15.1.6

A customer has a BIG-IP i2600 with 6 GB RAM and a 120 GB disk. They want to upgrade from v13.1.5 to v16.1.4. The v16.1.4 release notes state that the i2600 requires 8 GB RAM and 160 GB disk. The customer's license is a standard LTM term license. What is the correct assessment?

The upgrade is not eligible because the i2600 does not meet the minimum RAM and disk requirements for v16.1.4

The upgrade is eligible because the license is valid and the version path is supported

The upgrade is eligible if the admin first upgrades the RAM to 8 GB

The upgrade is eligible because v16.1.4 is a long-term support (LTS) release

A BIG-IP 6900 platform reached its end-of-life date two years ago. The current version is v11.6.5, which is also past end-of-support. The admin wants to upgrade to v13.1.5 to address a security vulnerability. What is the correct assessment?

The upgrade is eligible because v13.1.5 is the last version supported on the 6900

The upgrade is not eligible because the 6900 is past end-of-life and no software upgrade is supported

The upgrade is eligible if the admin first purchases a new license

The upgrade is eligible because the security vulnerability is critical
