AltocumulusF5OS (rseries 2800) in transparent mode
It's okay now I just need to choose the portgroup that I need and set up its profile. iAfter that I can use those interfaces in my tenant.
AltocumulusHello,
Thank you for your answer.
When I said transparent mode it's like the equipment will act like a layer 2 device.
Thank you for the link , I will read it and come back to you.
MVPLayer 2 like STP switch or Layer 1 (the virtual wire) ? See the link and also https://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/rseries-training/html/rseries_networking.html

layer 2 like a bridge for the input and output interfaces.

If you are talking STP then as mentioned in the links this is also supported if it is not low end rSeries Rseries appliance support on STP .
Still this bridge thing you are mentioning sounds like layer 1 vWire where traffic goes in 1 interface and it is directly send to the another. The 2 links I provided have a good explanation about this and how to configure it on the harware and again not supported on the low end rSeries but Vlan groups in the Tenant can be the alternative. Below is how vlan groups/vwire are configured after that on the tenant level.

Hello,
Thanks , Actually I am using rseries 2800 so it's a low model equipment as you said it's better to configure a vlan groups on tenant because this model hasn't vwire.
May be have you an idea about the mapping between F5OS's interfaces and its teant because I want to use 25G port for the transparent mode and I have no way in the tenant to verify this information.
