  • I believe it is, using the imish for the real configuration and the zebos command to control the services.You can use the Configuration Utility (GUI) to specify RPs for a Route Domain but that's about it I'm afraid.
  • I mean enable or disable/start or stop each different routing protocol, e.g.;

     

     

    zebos disable ospf Disable the OSPF module

     

    zebos enable bgp Enable the BGP module

     

  • is it mandatory from CLI ?i think so.

     

     

    as Steve mentioned, you have to enable routing protocol before configuring.

  • Thanks , now i found the steps to enable & Configure BGP , one more question :

     

    at the below solution it is shown how to configure route map to filter advertised BGP routes , but i want to make sure that F5 will Rx no routes from Router ( Filter incoming ) , how to do it ?

  • Sorry SSHSSH, I'm afraid I don't know. Can I suggest you take a look at the following ZebOS command reference for BGP: http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/related/bgp-commandreference-7-8-1.html

     

  • You're welcome. If you find it's possible, perhaps you can provide a brief rundown of how it's done for the benefit of others?
