4. have only big-ip , notebook , UTP line 1 ea
how to find self ip of BIG-IP by using only UTP port?
and what i know if i plug UTP in to BIG-IP? MAC address?

- El_JefeNimbostratusAssuming that you know what subnet the Self-IP is on, you could scan it, if it is listening for management traffic, it will answer at 443. I tell folks to disable that though, and not allow it on the self-ips. You're best bet is going to be to connect to the serial port.
- hooleylistCirrostratusAs El_Jefe said, serial port access would be the simplest way to connect to the BIG-IP if you don't know the IP address(es) it's configured for.

- El_JefeNimbostratusDownload a Virtual Edition free trial, and play around with it. Enjoy!
- hooleylistCirrostratusI suggest actually getting a VE lab edition evaluation key from an F5 or partner SE. The trial edition only supports 10.1 while the lab edition supports all current versions as well as all modules.
