Hi Rahul,

 

 

Are you trying to administer the BIG-IP itself using telnet and/or SSH? If so, you can only use SSH or the serial console.

 

 

SOL5380: Specifying allowable IP Ranges for SSH Access

Or are you trying to allow administrative access to the servers that you're load balancing? If so, you can see SOL7229 for details:
