Dec 11, 2013Configuring Bigip LTM VE
Hi,
How can I configure the Bigip LTM VE without logging into the system ?
Like entering the license and configuring the ip address and all

Mar 09, 2015Did you ever have any luck getting to automate LTMs? I am setting up a dev environment using ansible and having trouble getting started.

For configuring I enabled the dhclient so that it ll get dhcp management IP and took a snapshot and using this image for all the other launches(I was using VE). bigstart restart dhclient for licensing I used some python script available on F5 devcentral https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/pyControl-v2-License-BIGIP.html For creating resources use these one of the following methods. One can use pycontrol https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/PyControl_v2.html (Checkout the e.g.) or an rest Interface Icontrol(I used rest) https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/PyControl_v2.html (Checkout the e.g.) You can enabled the rest service, use these commands Enable the rest service(iControl) in BIG IP VM. enter: tmsh enter : modify sys service icrd add check the status: show sys service icrd Stop iControl service: stop sys service icrd restart the service: start sys service icrd Let me know if you need more info.
