Auto check feature not working

Hi all, I'm having trouble getting the 'automatic update check' to work' Pressing the button to check I get an error 'No response from server' I've got the holes put in the firewall, unfortunately I don't have visibility or control of the FW as it's hosted and managed by another organization but I suspect the attempts aren't even hitting the FW. I've been using this as my guide https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/15000/000/sol15000.html

 

Anything I can check?

 

thanks

    I would try telneting to the IP:Port from one of your F5 nodes.

    From TMSH go to bash, then:

     telnet callhome.f5.com  443
Trying 65.61.115.198...
Connected to callhome.f5.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

 telnet activate.f5.com 443
Trying 208.85.210.4...
Connected to activate.f5.com.
Escape character is '^]'.

    If you get a connection timeout, then either you don't have a route or connectivity. This presumes you have DNS configured as well.
