NimbostratusHow to setup WEB UI on LTM v11.4.1 VE.
Hi.
I am installing LTM v11.4.1 VE on the VMWare Workstaion 10.
I finished following steps.
(step1) Downloading *.ova file from F5 website.
(step2) extracting it , and getting *.vmx and *.vmdk
(step3) importing these two files to VMware Workstation 10.
(step4) booting LTM VE.
(step5) setting managemnt-ip(=192.168.2.245) by using tmsh , saving config , rebooting LTM VE
I can get ping response on my PC from 192.168.2.245.
But I can not access the WEB-UI "http://192.168.2.245/"
It seems that httpd is not listening on "192.168.2.245:80".
I found that there is a only "Listen: localhost:80" in /var/run/config/httpd.conf.
By adding "Listen: 192.168.0.245:80" line to /var/run/config/httpd.conf, and restarting httpd,
I can access the "http://192.168.2.245/" and I can see Login form.
But, I can not login with User/Pass=admin/admin.
I know that "/var/run/config/httpd.conf" is auto generated config file by LTM VE.
What shoud I do after (step5) ?

You have to use https://192.168.2.245 as the gui does not run on port 80.
Use tmsh load /sys config default to put system back into known state and access using that address.
You should not modify configuration files directly as they will not persist across an upgrade. Given that, the https configuration will be in a separate conf file. Look for includes in httpd.conf.

Mike_6502_14595Thank tou you for your help !!
I can access the WEB ui by "https://"
Just a side note. There is a check box under Preferences that enables a redirect to https from http. :)
You can also configure the Management IP during the initial deployment, using the hypervisor console and running the 'Configuration Utility'.
[root@BIGIP:Active:Standalone] config config
This will ask you if you want to use the automatic configuration (DHCP)
Or manually set your own IP Address, Netmask and Default Route.
