Ah, the age-old question of 'How do I find the active BIG-IP?' It's like a rite of passage for any network admin. I'm going with C and D, but I'm also gonna bring a ouija board just in case.

Wait, there's a command called 'bigtop'? That's gotta be the most hilariously named command ever. I'm gonna have to remember that one!

This is a tough one, but I'll go with C and D. The command prompt and ifconfig just make the most sense to me for determining the active BIG-IP.

That's a good point, Lura. The floating addresses on the active system could also be a clue.

Hmm, I think A and C are the way to go. The bigtop command sounds like it would display the status, and the command prompt is where you'd expect to see the active/standby info.

B and D seem like the way to go. The active system's screens are the only ones you can access, and the ifconfig command should show the floating IPs.
