NimbostratusHealth check on f5 and firewall
I am new to the BIG_IP platform. I need to know any script is available or commands to check the pool member status and also interface list status - to check whether all are running fine .
and also need to know through scripting we can automatically login the f5 load balancer and check the above is mentioned.
Is there any powershell module is available in BIG-IP??
Ilian_IvanovTo see the interfaces status you can use "show net interface" in tmsh mode.
To see the pool members status you can use "show ltm pool poolname"
If you want to see the response from the server you can use "telnet", "openssl", "curl" in bash mode.
For exmaple:
telnet 1.1.1.1 80
curl -vk -H "Host: ; http://1.1.1.1
openssl s_client -connect 1.1.1.1:443
GET / HTTP/1.1 "enter"
Host: "enter"
Connection: close "enter"
"enter"
In order to see the full connection details you can use "tcpdump" and "ssldump" in bash mode.
For exmaple:
tcpdump -nni 0.0:nnnp -s0 host 1.1.1.1 and port 80
ssldump -Aed -nni 0.0:nnnp host 1.1.1.1 and port 443
