Regarding CLI details for running/setting the basic networking settings

Hi,

 

Sol 13369, Sol 15040

 

Management interface settings such as the IP address, netmask, and default gateway

they are under sys management-ip and sys management-route.

Host name

Time zone

User administration settings, such as the Root and Admin account passwords

sol13369: Performing a first-time configuration from the command line (11.x)

High availability settings

sol13639: Creating a device group using the Traffic Management Shell

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/13000/600/sol13639.html

SSH access and IP address range settings

root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list sys db service.ssh.allow
sys db service.ssh.allow {
    value "ALL"
}
root@(ve11a)(cfg-sync In Sync)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list sys db service.httpd.allow
sys db service.httpd.allow {
    value "All"
}

Here are a few commands that might help, that were given to me for new box standup.

 

---------Management--------------------- create /sys management-ip 172.16.0.100/24 create /sys management-route default gateway 172.16.0.1

 

---------Licensing (mostly BASH)-------- run util get-dossier -b ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDE-ABCDEFG bash vi /config/bigip.license bash reloadlic

 

---------Provisioning------------------- modify /sys provision ltm level nominal modify /sys provision gtm level nominal

 

---------System------------------------- modify auth user admin { password admin } modify ntp timezone "America/Los_Angeles" modify sys global-settings hostname BIGIP.agilitycloud.local modify sys dns name-servers add { 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2 } modify ntp servers add {172.16.0.1} modify sys global-settings gui-setup disabled

 

---------Provider Partitioning---------- create partition Provider description "Repository for Provider objects"

 

---------Networking--------------------- create net vlan /Provider/ProviderVlan interfaces add 1.1 create net self /Provider/ProviderSelf address 172.16.10.100/24 allow-service default vlan ProviderVlan create net route /Provider/DefaultGateway { gw 172.16.8.1 network default} create net route /Provider/Specific_Route { gw 172.16.8.1 network 172.16.0.1/32 }

 

---------Authorization------------------ tmsh create auth ldap system-auth { bind-dn cn=admin,dc=agilitycloud,dc=local bind-pw meatballs login-attribute uid search-base-dn dc=agilitycloud,dc=local servers add { 10.0.21.135 } user-template uid=%s,ou=Users,dc=agilitycloud,dc=local } modify auth remote-role { role-info add { testusers { attribute memberof=ou=Users,dc=agilitycloud,dc=local console tmsh line-order 1 role manager user-partition Tenant } } }

 

---------Tenant Partitioning------------------- create auth user Partition_Admin { role admin partition-access all password notarealpassword shell bash } create partition Tenant1 description "Repository for Tenant1 objects"

 

---------Tenant Networking-------------- create net vlan /Tenant1/Tenant1Vlan interfaces add 1.2 create net self /Tenant1/Tenant1Self address 172.16.20.100/16 allow-service default vlan Tenant1Vlan

 

Thanks a lot for all your responses. It definitely helps me.

 

Can i write a script which should generate the dossier for registration key, get the license key and apply to my F5 box. I just wanted to automate this process as well.

i think it is possible if you can find out how to send dossier to licensing server and accept license agreement. not sure if http analyzer tool, such as httpfox, helps.
