Mar 15, 2016After going through the guide for F5 on AWS, I cannot ping the Elastic IP
I have gone through the document a couple of times, and when I hit "Connect" and then type in the ssh -i "aws_f5_march.pem" admin@52.73.38.5 or root@ -- it times out.
Ping 52.73.38.5 also times ...

Hello TTF888,
Assuming the BIG-IP has successfully reported '2/2 checks passed', this sounds like a security group configuration issue. The example given in 'Creating New Security Groups' section of the guide below is wide open, so it should be refined for your environment.
Can you ping any other guests that are using the same VPC?
The AMI-ID of the BIG-IP you are deploying and the AWS region may be helpful in troubleshooting.

I am only trying to ping public IP addresses and that doesn't appear to work. I checked my security groups. I have it set to All Traffic inbound and outbound 0.0.0.0/24 - TTF888_160708Mar 16, 2016

I got through. I think the instructions are incomplete. I went back to all the network interfaces created through the launch and set it to all-traffic. Now I get this: admin@(ip-10-0-0-47)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) - TTF888_160708Mar 16, 2016
