Cli command for verification

The following commands will be your friends:

tmsh show sys hardware
tmsh show sys cluster
tmsh show net interface
tmsh show sys software
tmsh show sys version

The output may vary and I don´t have a C2400 in my lab ...

Thanks Stephan,

 

gonna look if i find some output example related, trying to check if i can get a test 2400.

 

cheers smaikol

 

Stephan,

 

if it's possible , how to verify with tmsh command an f5 2100 blade used with a viprion 2400 ?

 

Thanks again a lot smaikol

 

Hi smaikol,

 

you will find the the specific terms for the chassis and blade in the hardware related output:

 

A109 - VIPRION B2100 Blade

 

F100 - VIPRION C2400 Chassis

 

Thanks, Stephan

 

Thanks Stephan,

 

may i ask you if BIG-IP commands are the same or is it a different command line ? In case which are the pair commands to verify the platform at power on?

 

Thanks really a lot smaikol

 

These commands work on all TMOS v10/v11 platforms.

The 'cluster' command can be used on VIPRIONs only.

Very likely the 'hardware' and 'interface' commands are most interesting for H/W and layer 1/2 related information:

tmsh show sys hardware
tmsh show net interface

Especially regarding the hardware you can expect a lot of platform specific data output. You may use grep, cut, awk to filter the relevant data.

Sorry for not being able to provide sample output.

Thanks Stephan,

 

Not a problem for the output i'm searching around. Thanks. smaikol

 

One more question Stephan, sorry to abuse of your kindness, i cannot find any administration guide of the F5 viprion, for the GUI, can you point me in the right direction ?

 

Thanks, smaikol

 

Hi, there is no specific WebUI or CLI for the VIPRION. TMOS is always the same on all platforms. Of course you will only find some platform specific enhancements, i.e. 'Mirroring' on systems with RAID hard drives and i.e. 'Cluster' settings for VIPRION platforms. But that´s it. Everything else is the same.

 

Have a look at the VIPRION platform guides (available on Ask F5) please for a description of clustering.

 

Personally I would recommend to involve a trained engineer for a VIPRION deployment, especially if you are going to run it with multiple blades.
