Exam F5CAB1 Topic 3 Question 21 Discussion

Within the BIG-IP Traffic Management Shell (tmsh), system configuration objects--including the management IP--are organized under the /sys hierarchy. The management IP address is a configurable property stored in the system configuration and can be viewed using the tmsh list command, which displays configuration objects and their currently assigned values.
Why "list /sys management-ip" is correct
The list command in tmsh is used to display configured system values, not runtime statistics.
The object that holds the management IP settings on BIG-IP systems is located at:
/sys management-ip
Running the command:
list /sys management-ip
will reveal the settings for the management IP interface, including the address, netmask, and any associated attributes.
This is the standard method used during system setup and verification to confirm the management IP configuration.
This behavior aligns with BIG-IP administration procedures, where configuration information is retrieved using list, while operational data is retrieved using show.
