NimbostratusBigip F5 ve aws edition
Hi,
On the deployment preparation phase I come to security groups and it mentions that security group name must be allow-all-traffic otherwise when i deploy f5 ltm aws instance it does not work. As soon as i change the security group name to allow-all-traffic with same rules as before. It works.
Any ideas?
Thanks

What "mentions that security group name must be allow-all-traffic..." please? If you use a custom group, what rules are in it?
Tolga_Ercan_SerImportant: The allow-all-traffic security group is critically important for successful operation of the BIG-IP VE on Amazon EC2.
Default bigip ve aws instance works with a different security group name but it seems when bigiq enters the scene that name must be match to allow-all-traffic name otherwise bigiq does not function properly it seems. I could not make it work with different name.
As soon as i set the security group name to allow-all-traffic with the same rules on url example above bigiq and aws and ltm ve instance starts working together?
I try same rules with a different security group name and bigiq + aws connector and instance connection failed with the same rules all accept incoming+outgoing? so it seems that sepecific name applies to function properly?
- That is correct, the name is the key. You can change the rules but BIG-IQ is specifically looking for the "allow-all-traffic" security group name.
