CirrusBash shell and ping command on F5 rseries
Hi,
I need to use command ping on F5 rSeries. I undarstand that ping command is not availible on F5OS, but with local credentials I annnot to switch from F5OS to bash Linux shell.
Do you know how I can enter in bash shell or if there is a workaround to use ping in F5OS prompt?
Thanks a lot, bye
If you are logged in with admin account you cannot access bash
Try ssh with root

Yeah, I would open a support ticket with F5 and let them explain that one.

romolo82Thanks, I've read the "system diagnostics net-utils" section, but it seems like ping isn't working on my system and I don't know why:
F5RS-D-INPS-A-01-BOX_CORE-RKB10# system diagnostics ?
Possible completions:
core-files core-files list/delete CLIs
ihealth
qkview qkview - diagnostics package commands.
tcpdump Run tcpdump

In the GUI you can change the admin profile to allow you to go into advanced shell instead which will allow you to switch between TMOS and Bash.

You can in TMOS but as far as I know not in F5OS.
