Proxy Setting in F5

Can anyone tell me how to set proxy setting in F5 LTM,

I have a big f5 ltm which license needs to be reactivated but the appliance lies behind the firewall and only option for internet connectivity is proxy.

  • Hi Mohit Rathee,

     

    Have a look on this KB 😉

    -> configuration Signature file updates through an HTTPS proxy

     

    Maybe it's works for LTM.

  • Hi,

     

    BugID:

    When licensing through a proxy, setting the db variables for proxy.host, proxy.port, etc., has no effect.

    So I suppose that if you follow this kb could enable license trough proxy:

    1. Log in to tmsh by typing the following command:
    2. tmsh
    3. Set the destination proxy server by using the following command syntax :
    4. modify /sys db proxy.host value <hostname>
    5. Note: In this command syntax, <hostname> is the destination proxy host name.
    6. Set the destination proxy server port by using the following command syntax:
    7. modify /sys db proxy.port value <port>
    8. Note: In this command syntax, <port> is the numeric port value of your proxy host.
    9. Set the destination proxy server protocol by using the following command syntax:
    10. modify /sys db proxy.protocol value <protocol>
    11. Note: In this command syntax, <protocol> is http or https.
    12. To set the destination proxy server username, use the following command syntax:
    13. modify /sys db proxy.username value <username>
    14. Note: In this command syntax, <username> is the username for authentication to the proxy server.
    15. To set the destination proxy server username password, use the following command syntax:
    16. modify /sys db proxy.password value <password>
    17. Note: In this command syntax, <password> is the username password when authenticating to the proxy server.
    18. Exit tmsh by typing the following command:
    19. quit
