NimbostratusWhere is the F5 web gui's ping, traceroute form?
I sent some traffic test like ping and traceroute from the web ui to a backend server the other day using a form in the F5 Web GUI. Today, I cannot find that tool for the life of me.
Can you tell me where the form is to use these simple network tools from the F5 Web UI?
Thanks

Can you provide the screenshot of the tool you using ?
Are you using any thrid party APP UI to control F5 device ?

ab_f5_admin_263I'm getting closer. I found the support document showing the tool. But I can find it in my F5 now, and I can't see how to even enable the section that shows the tool. But I absolutely know I used this tool just the other day to ping and trace route while doing tcpdump on the command line. This document shows the tool in Wan Optimization Management, but I don't see that section now in my web ui. Argggh.

Found it. Wohoo! See the answer below.

I guess my F5 does not have the WOM or maybe it is not in this version anymore. But to get the tool:
- Click "Partion" list up by the "Log out" button
- Choose All [Read Only]
- Then Click on left Acceleration -> Symmetric Optimization -> Diagnostics

Oddly, after logging in today, the tool is where I found it, but without even clicking Choose All [Read Only]. So, I think I was just blinded before. I was sort of convinced the tab to click was called Troubleshooting or Testing or some other thing and must have looked right past Diagnostics while I was hunting.
O well.

I guess you need to have AAM licensed to get the Acceleration settings tab.
Acceleration -> Symmetric Optimization -> Diagnostics
Once you are licensed, it is available in all versions. Thanks
