How to change the LC type on GTM from energic-host to bigip

Hello everyone, our customer's topology environment as shown. I found that the GTM did not add the LC as a bigip type server, but instead added it as generic-host, so you can't use the auto discovery...

If your LC devices are F5 LTMs you can add them to your GTMs and enable VS discovery.

 

  1. on LTMs ensure client side self IPs allow ports 22 and 4353
  2. In the GTM
  3. Create data centers
  4. Create “Links” for each data center using the IP of the LTM's default gateway.
  5. Create Servers for LTMs select type BIG-IP Redundant
  6. Login with root. From each GTM enter into bash and run bigip_add x.x.x.x (IP= Client side self IP) for both IPs of the LTM redundant pair. After doing this the servers should change from blue to green. Note: Use command iqdump x.x.x.x (IP of target system )to analyze iquery traffic
