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.

Mar 09, 2015For 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.
