NimbostratusSetting up F5 5000 in Lab
Hi Experts,
I have an f5 5000 and I want to use it in my lab. I can get into it via the AOM and have an IP. The password is the default one. So that is good. But the browser gets nothing when I go https://<IP>. SSH to the IP gets me an AOM menu. How do I get to the CLI shell or the web menu.?
I am more interested in getting to the management of the box then making it function as a load balancer. cli and snmp access is all I am interested in immediately.
Below is the screen I get to from cli and from console. I never get anything but, number sequence in the bottom right hand corner. f5-23-26-30 are the numbers. Had to video it and slow it down to see the numbers.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

You will need to connect to the MGMT IP to connect to the GUI on HTTPS (this is a separate IP to the AOM IP).
On the front LCD display of the hardware appliance, you should be able to navigate to the System menu and verify / configure the MGMT IP.
