Hi Ottimo,

 

 

The advanced and basic options just refers to the options displayed for that page in the admin GUI. Regardless of what you select for that option, the config sync data is the same. If you change from advanced to basic on the config sync page you can see the option for the account name that BIG-IP will use to authenticate with the peer unit. By default it's the admin account.
