Uninitialized Interfaces

Hello,

 

 

I have two load balancers LTM-6400 with version 9.4.1 Build 29.2.

 

 

However one of the Lbs does not activate the ethernet interfaces (expect for management which is working fine).

 

When I check the interfaces status through the GUI it shows the status as Uninitialized.

 

 

Do you have any idea what can be causing this or how can I troubleshoot it?

 

 

Best regards.

    Does the unit have a license? If you run 'b load' at the command line what error do you see?

     

     

    Thanks,

    Hello,

     

     

    yes the unit has a license.

     

     

    When I run the command the output is:

     

    b load

     

    Reading configuration from /config/bigip_base.conf.

     

    Reading configuration from /usr/bin/monitors/builtins/base_monitors.conf.

     

    Reading configuration from /config/profile_base.conf.

     

    Reading configuration from /config/daemon.conf.

     

    Reading configuration from /config/bigip.conf.

     

    Reading configuration from /config/bigip_local.conf.

     

    Loading the configuration ...

     

     

     

    The Loadbalancer is also from minute to minute restarting bcm56xxd.

     

     

    Best regards.

    bcm56xxd is the daemon that manages the switch ports. Is there anything interesting in the /var/log/bcm56xxd log file?

     

     

    If you have a support contract, I'd suggest opening a case with F5 Support. They'll probably ask you to run the End User Diagnostic (EUD) tool:
