NimbostratusRemote connection to LB BIG-IP
Hi Everyone!
We have two load balancers (active and failover) installed on customers site. The hardware we have are local traffic managers, 1600 and add ons.
On customer's site we are directly connecting to the GUI of the load balancer with no problem, as admin and as root. However, we CAN connect to the GUI remotely (through a secure VPN) but we cannot login! No matter what username and password we use we dont get authenticated! :(
Does the load balancer accept connections to the UI only on certain interfaces? Any idea what could be causing this inconsistency??
Thank you!!!

BIG-IP can be configured to accept administrative connections on any of its self IP. However, it may have been locked down. Check the settings on the self IP you are using to connect to the GUI, it should be set at "Allow All", "Allow Default" or "Allow Custom" with 443 defined. If you are connecting on the out-of-band mgmt interface, there is also ACL.
shemesh_yar_841Hi Johns,Thank you for your reply. Where do I check these settings?

- shemesh_yar_841These are our settings:
self allow {
default
tcp ssh
tcp domain
tcp snmp
tcp https
tcp 4353
udp domain
udp snmp
udp efs
udp 1026
udp 4353
proto ospf
}
We have no 443 defined, except for https... - shemesh_yar_841Anyone has any clue why remotely authentication fails??? thank you!
