Proxy Setting for Image Update Check

Hi,

 

I have tried adding the proxy setting to the:

 

  • services.ini
  • Database
    • tmsh modify sys db proxy.host value hostname
    • tmsh modify sys db proxy.port value port_number

But it still try to go direct for the software update check.

 

Any ideas where I should be adding it?

 

management
proxy
TMSH
update

    Here is an F5 article:

    Allowing automatic updates through a firewall

    If the BIG-IP system is behind a firewall, you should allow access for the following F5 host servers, DNS servers, and ports, so that the system can complete the update tasks:

    Host servers
    callhome.f5.com port 443
    activate.f5.com port 443
DNS servers
    The firewall should allow port 53 access for the DNS name servers configured for use by the BIG-IP system
