A company has a BIG-IP v13.1 on a VIPRION B4300. The compatibility matrix shows that the B4300 supports up to v15.1. v13.1 is end-of-support. The company wants to use a feature that requires v16.1. What is the best recommendation?

Replace the B4300 with a platform that supports v16.1, then upgrade to v16.1.

Upgrade to v15.1 and forgo the v16.1 feature.

Stay on v13.1 and purchase extended support.

Upgrade to v16.1 on the B4300; the matrix is only a guideline.

An administrator is running BIG-IP 15.1.0 and wants to upgrade to 16.1.2. The upgrade matrix shows that a direct upgrade from 15.1.0 to 16.1.2 is not supported. What is the correct approach?

Perform a staged upgrade through an intermediate version that is supported

Upgrade directly to 16.1.2 anyway, as the matrix is only a recommendation

Downgrade to an older version before upgrading to 16.1.2

Reinstall the current version and then attempt the upgrade again

A company runs BIG-IP v13.1 on a VIPRION B4300 chassis. They want to move to v15.1. The security team requires the latest TLS 1.3 support, but the network team is concerned about hardware compatibility. What should the administrator do first?

Download v15.1 ISO and attempt the upgrade directly from v13.1.

Upgrade to v14.1 first, then to v15.1, without checking hardware.

Check the F5 hardware/software compatibility matrix for the B4300 and v15.1.
