Free Practice Questions for F5 F5CAB1 Exam

TheService Check Datedetermines whether a particular software version is allowed to run under the device’s license.

When installing or upgrading TMOS, the installer checks theService Check Datestored in the BIG-IP license file.

If the license date isolderthan the minimum required for the target version, the software installation isblocked.

This check happensspecifically during a software install, not during routine device operations.

Editing virtual servers or system startup do not trigger this validation.

Thus, the enforcement happensduring software installation.

Provisioning defines how BIG-IP allocates system resources to modules. The provisioning levels include:

Dedicated– allocatesallCPU, memory, and disk resources to a single module

Nominal– standard resource allocation balanced with other modules

Minimal– lowest level, used for basic utility needs

None– module disabled

Comprehensive / Maximal– not valid TMOS provisioning levels

Why “Dedicated” is correct

When a BIG-IP device is intended to runonly ASM(Web Application Firewall), the recommended way to maximize performance is to provision the module atDedicatedlevel.

WithASM: Dedicated:

ASM receives theentire hardware capacity

No other modules can or should be provisioned

This is explicitly recommended when a device is used solely as a WAF platform

Why other options are incorrect

B. Comprehensive / C. Maximal

These arenot valid provisioning modesin BIG-IP.

TMOS supports: Nominal, Minimal, Large (module-specific), and Dedicated.

D. Nominal

Shares resources with other modules

Does not provide full system performance

Not suitable when exclusive resource allocation is required

Thus,Dedicatedis the correct provisioning choice.
