BIG-IP provisioning determines how CPU, memory, and disk resources are allocated to each module. The goal is to provision only the modules required and at levels appropriate to their performance needs.

Requirements in the question

The device will be used for:

LTM(Local Traffic Manager) → load balancing

ASM(Application Security Manager) → WAF

No functions require:

APM (Access Policy Manager)

AFM (Advanced Firewall Manager)

Why Option C is correct

Provisioning bothLTMandASMatNominallevel provides:

Adequate performance for production load

Plentiful system resources while avoiding dedicating the entire system to a single module

Balanced allocation without starving memory or CPU

SettingAPM: NoneandAFM: Noneensures unused modules consume zero resources.

Why the other options are incorrect

A. Dedicated provisioning for both LTM and ASM

Two modules cannot both run in “Dedicated” mode.

Dedicated mode allocatesallresources to a single module — the second module cannot be dedicated simultaneously.

B. LTM and ASM both Dedicated

Same issue: only one module can be Dedicated at a time.

Also unnecessary for load balancing + WAF.

D. Setting APM and AFM to Minimal

Minimal still consumes memory and CPU.

Unused modules should be set toNone.

Therefore,Option Cis the best provisioning strategy.
