  • Hello Jacob,

     

    I am unable to ping any IPs LTM F5 Version 9.4.8.

     

    It gives an error that ping command invalid something.

     

    If I only have read only access then what is command to test server reachability. Because I tried ping IP command & that not working.

     

  • Okay, so it seems as if you do not have permission. What permission level do you have? Guest? Are you in a custom shell? Do you have root access?

     

    What does it say when you run the command: run util ping How about: run util bash. Once in bash, can you ping?

     

    Thanks.

     

  • Hi there,

     

    Just to clarify that I am understanding the question, what exactly do you mean by ping server?

     

    Are you trying to establish if you have connectivity?

     

    SSH into your BIG-IP using Putty or any SSH utility.

     

    "ssh root@x.x.x.x", for example.

     

    Once you have ssh'd into the BIG-IP use the command: ping x.x.x.x

     

    Where x.x.x.x is the IP address of your server.

     

    Are you possibly referring to establishing if there is a TCP connection?

     

    To my knowledge the ping syntax did not change from BIG-IP version 9.x.x to current versions.
