AltostratusBIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 651.0 Hotfix HF5
Hello,
We've the following version of BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 651.0 Hotfix HF5 devices in our lab and we would like to start using REST API. We know that v11.5 is already released and in stable state, but can you let us know whether it's okay to start using REST API in v11.4.1 with HF5?
Are there any definitive steps to enable or trigger REST API service in F5 LTM v11.4.1? Any further help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

i understand you just add and start icrd service.
tmsh modify sys service icrd add
Srinath_Sadda_1Cool. Thanks for your prompt reply. Based on one of the thread, we need "admin" account to invoke any REST API calls to F5 LTM. Is this still true for v11.4.1? Usually in our environments, we don't get access to F5 with "admin" rights other than internal F5 administration team...- nitassi am not sure if it works in 11.4.1 (i do see it works in 11.5.1). anyway, you also need json file to create icontrol rest api user role. if you would like to try, can you open a support case?
- Srinath_Sadda_1Hi, I will check with my internal network team and have them place a support ticket. Thank you.
