You know, if I was the BIG-IP admin, I'd just put the whole thing in a bubble and call it a day. Maintenance made easy!

I'm gonna have to go with A on this one. Gotta keep those connections alive, otherwise it's gonna be a real mess to clean up.

Hah, D is clearly just the opposite of what you'd want. Terminating existing connections? That's a recipe for chaos!

I agree with Annalee, putting the appliance into FORCED_OFFLINE state will help maintain existing connections and reduce the CPU load.

I'm not so sure about that. B looks like it would allow new connections, which is what you'd want during maintenance, right?
