Hi Jameswalter,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I have already checked this r5900 appliance mode not enabled currently.

Therefore, I tried to follow another platform KB - K11400446 (iSeries Reference). I just can apply the AOM networking settings such as IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway by "esc + (" key, and able to access it through SSH. But login failed.

I tried to following the steps to create AOM users from KB - K11400446 but not positive with below result.

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]# aom_setup_user

bash: aom_setup_user: command not found

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]# aom_setup_user -o

bash: aom_setup_user: command not found

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]# aom_setup_user -l

bash: aom_setup_user: command not found

[root@appliance-1(BIGIPr5900) ~]#

 

Just for your reference.

Thanks and Best Regards,

Alvin Ng

I just heard back from F5 support and they are working on ssh access to AOM for the R5900 Series. It is internally tracked as Bug ID 1282025 - "[RFE] F5OS AOM SSH access like iSeries".

    Hi John,

    Thanks for your information.

    Don't mind me sharing more.

    Yes, I tried different F5OS version between 1.3.1 and 1.4.0 in my RSeries appliance. That can configure the AOM interface network settings and able to access by SSH method similar as iSeries of pressing "Esc + (" to configure.

    But I stuck in login process. I think there is same of sepate user account for AOM. Therefore, I tried to apply "aom_setup_user" CLI but not work.

    I think that will be update to fix it this soon.

     

    Thanks and Best Regards,

      Hi, I had a similar experience.  I am now waiting to hear back from my F5 account team on an estimated date for them to have that done. I'll be happy when the AOM part of the R series works like the older I series.

      Regards,
