Hi LucidCobia 

By default the BIG-IP does not use a proxy to run system update, it will use the default management route ,but In some scenarios you may want to configure the BIG-IP to run system updates using a web proxy ,so if you need this you can do it by using below steps:

  1. Log in to tmsh by typing the following command:
    tmsh

  2. Set the destination proxy server by using the following command syntax :
    modify /sys db proxy.host value <hostname>
    Note: In this command syntax, <hostname> is the destination proxy host name.

  3. Set the destination proxy server port by using the following command syntax:
    modify /sys db proxy.port value <port>
    Note: In this command syntax, <port> is the numeric port value of your proxy host.

  4. Set the destination proxy server protocol by using the following command syntax:
    modify /sys db proxy.protocol value <protocol>
    Note: In this command syntax, <protocol> is http or https.

  5. To set the destination proxy server username, use the following command syntax:
    modify /sys db proxy.username value <username>
    Note: In this command syntax, <username> is the username for authentication to the proxy server.

  6. To set the destination proxy server username password, use the following command syntax:
    modify /sys db proxy.password value <password>
    Note: In this command syntax, <password> is the username password when authenticating to the proxy server.

  7. Exit tmsh by typing the following command:
    quit

Thanks,
