Hi there,

 

 

Are you using a cross over cable to connect the laptop to the MGMT port? The switch ports do auto-crossover so the cable doesn't matter for those, but the management port requires a crossover for a direct connection.

 

 

Are you able to access the unit via the serial port? You could check the management port status from there. Else, you might want to open a case with F5 Support.
