Hello Artiom,

 

When following you guide in github and issueing this connand

 

Code
modify cm trust-domain root ca-devices add { 192.168.x.y } name bigip02 username user password pass

I get this error:

 

Unexpected Error: "Timed out while waiting for the device to respond"

 

In /var/log/ltm I see:

 

"iControl connection to 192.168.x.y failed"

 

Any reason why?

 

Noam.
