Discovery not completing

I'm editing this post because I found the problem. It was a Proxy authentication error.

 

Your icontrol sysinfo tester worked when I used the DNS name of the device, but not the raw IP address. My 'Internet Options' were set to skip the proxy server for local addresses, but it didn't recognize the raw IP adderss as local. I saw in the trace.log file that the discovery process was using the IP address so I tried that in the iControl sysinfo program and saw the error.

 

I stopped the server from sending traffic to the proxy and it completed discovery fine.

 

 

also, (this is especially for those using Active Directory user account mapping to log onto your Big-IP's) make sure you first log onto the F5 devices (either through the GUI or SSH) with the credential you'll be using for discovery. The discovery process uses the cached credential on the device so you need to make sure the password is up to date.

 

 

thanks for the help!
