F5 Rseries HA
Dears, I know that there is no HA between rseries appliance, and the HA will be configured between tenants on each appliance, my question her about when i prepare to configure HA between Tenant so before making this i will configure the network setting and VLAN on F5OS so I will need a dedicated interface and HA VLAN between two tenants on each appliance so what is the next step after I configured the network setting on Appliance (F5OS), and what i need to confirm on the network setting that i will configure on each appliance (F5OS) to make HA between the two tenantsImport PKCS 12 SSL to Device Certificate via API/Script or CLI on BIG-IP
We have more than 160 BIG-IP Virtual Edition with version 15.1.10.3 build 0.0.12. We need to import, in each one, an SSL Certificate in PFX/PKCS 12 format in the path System ›› Certificate Management: Device Certificate Management: Device Certificate. We looked in the documentation and the KB but we couldn't find a way to do it. Has anyone dealt with this and have a solution to do it via Script, CLI or API? Thank you.
Overwriting or adding LTM SSL Traffic cert and key using iControlREST
Hi, I am trying to overwrite an existing cert and key within the LTM SSL Traffic cert and key using iControlREST. Here is the basic process, and result of each step. Upload key and cert PEM files to the uploads directory. I have tried this step both inside and outside of a transaction with the same result. This works fine. Create a transaction using the transaction REST endpoint. This works fine. Add a command to install the key over the desired SSL Traffic key referencing the local path from step 1 with the transaction id in the header. The command is set to install and from-local-file. Successfully added to the transaction commands. Add a command to install the key over the desired SSL Traffic cert referencing the local path from step 1 with the transaction id in the header. The command is set to install and from-local-file. Successfully added to the transaction commands. Get the transaction commands just to observe the contents. The commands are present, and the paths are correct per steps 3 & 4 above. Attempt to commit the transaction, and receive the failure with a message like the one below. message=transaction failed:01070712:3: file (/var/system/tmp/tmsh/GexeqO/IIS-F5v13.key) expected to exist. As you can see, F5 is looking in a different directory than specified in steps 3 & 4. I've closely examined all requests and responses using Fiddler, and there's no way to determine the randomly generated sub directory name ('GexeqO' in this particular case). It is different each transaction. Also note, this happens even when not overwriting existing entries. But I am using a transaction so that I don't get the 'key and certificate do not match' message. Any insights would be tremendously helpful. Best, Gary

Big-Ip Edge Client specials characters problems

Hello guys, I have an issue with our F5 devices, we have 2 devices in a cluster in an Active and standby state. we noticed the issue started about two weeks ago, the active F5 just stops sending traffic to the pool member behind the VS, we tried some couple of troubleshooting whenever this occurs we check the var/log/ltm and var/log/monitor logs for the pool affected but we cant see any stating a failure. we changed the health monitor and it is still the same. we can confirm that it is not the network because the other pools are working fine and checkup was done on the affected server to confirm all services and functions are working as should. Even after deleting and adding the pool member back to the pool, F5 doesn't send traffic to it. what i noticed is the statistics page show bits in without any bits outs also for packets Please what can cause this as it is an intermittent issue that occurs almost daily. we have to failover to the secondary device before F5 starts sending traffic out to pool member, this is a production issue as application server stops working(stops recieving traffic) until an administrator is able to do this.
stalled/blocked request
Hi, My short topology: client browser->F5->IIS servers I have a .Net web application. Randomly some request is in stalled/blocked state in browser. For example: I can see a request that spend 7 minutes in stalled state and then it is processed less than 1 second. I can't see high cpu, memory, connection load at this time. The peak connection is 4k, but I think it is not too high. At same time I can see lot of success request also. I think the request is waiting for something on my F5, but I don't know for what. Could anyone help me how can I detect the reason? My opinion is that I reached the connection limit but I can see any error message in log about it. How can I check it? Thanks.
