When logged into the bash shell of a BIG-IP system, there are two valid ways to view the management-ip address:

A. tmsh list /sys management-ip

Even from the bash shell, the administrator can enter a tmsh command by typing:

tmsh list /sys management-ip

This displays:

Management IP address

Netmask

Any configured management routes

This is the official tmsh method for viewing the management-ip configuration.

C. ifconfig mgmt

In the underlying Linux OS, the management interface maps to the mgmt interface.

Running:

ifconfig mgmt

displays:

Assigned management IP

Netmask

Link-level status

This is a valid Linux-level method used frequently for troubleshooting.

Why the other options are incorrect:

B. show mgmt ip

Not a valid bash or tmsh command on BIG-IP.

D. list / sys management-ip

Missing the tmsh prefix.

In bash, this will generate a syntax error.

The correct form requires:

tmsh list /sys management-ip
