Hello, I'm working with configuration on r2600 where is one tenant with multiple vlans. On tenant perspective I want to add each vlan to specific partition. How to do this in correct way for rSeries? There is a bug http://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1231889.html which says that all vlans need to be in Common partition. On vCMP or bare metal there was an option to create vlan in partition, add it to route domain and then configure all other things (IP, routes, etc). So - what is proper way? Where can I find F5 document?515Views0likes14CommentsCredentialed Scanning - F5OS - Rseries
After solving the remote authentication issue previously with F5OS. My next question is related to credentialed scanning on R series appliances running F5OS. The tenable agent logs in via SSH and tries to run commands in the shell to pull system information. This has never been on issues on the iseries appliances and BIG-IP guests as they allow uses directly to the shell upon login. All linux commands run as intended. F5OS is a new beast for me to understand as it dumps you into its own OS. The shell is protected and only root at the local level is allowed access to the linux shell. This is the issue I face with credentialed scanning. Authentication works perfectly fine but the ability to run the proper commands at the appropriate level seems to be locked and it doesn't appear I can grant shell access to remote accounts. Anyone have any experience running authenticated scans on their rseries appliances with f50S?86Views0likes1CommentAutomate F5OS license activation using ansible
Hello, working to automate the process of licensing the F5OS platform (r-series) using ansible but with the version we have in our production we cannot use F5OS ansible galaxy modules so we are using ansible uri module to get dossier from F5OS r-series system by API. any-leads on how to achieve this license activation which requires dossier signing from "https://activate.f5.com/license/dossier.jsp" or if anyone can lead me to how the payload to this site should look like ?Solved84Views0likes4CommentsF5OS Tenant Radius Issues
Hello All, Finished deploying new R-Series equipment to replace some i-Series. Working through some issues that I hope there is an easier solution for in regards to radius authentication on tenants/guests running on my new appliances. I cannot seem to get the tenants running on my r-series appliances to use the Mgmt IP address for radius authentication. They seem to want to use a self-ip that is within the network on the gateway for the default routing domain. For additional information the configuration on the i-series were ported over via UCS files to my r-series tenants. They're near identical besides new MGMT ips. Quick breakdown of what works for Radius R-Series Appliance (F5OS) - MGMT 1.1.1.1 <---Radius auth works using MGMT IP - Makes sense, no virtual routers - BIG-IP Tenant - MGMT 1.1.1.2 <-----Radius fails (Uses self-ip 10.10.10.10) - BIG-IP Tenant - MGMT 1.1.1.3 <-----Radius fails (Uses self-ip 23.23.23.23) - BIG-IP Tenant - MGMT 1.1.1.4 <-----Radius fails (Uses self-ip 5.5.5.5) The self IPs are all on different networks that serve different purposes on different security zones on my firewall. The solution as it stands now is allow the specific reporting self-ips to reach my radius server. I'd rather not do that if I can find a way to force to tenants to use their mgmt IP.Solved36Views0likes2CommentsF5OS (R-series) changing admin/root password
Hi, I have question / observation. I have have been running F5 R5900 for almost a year now, when i want to change the admin and root password via the GUI or CLI. The first next attempt to log in, it asking me change again. I also noticed when i change the password, the colomn "last change" in the GUI is empty. Does any one have the same thing? Is there a way to diable the force changing the password for admin and root account?909Views0likes4CommentsrSeries Management route
Hi Experts, I have a situation in rSeries where I want to define a management route for a specific IP (outside the OOB network). I'm facing a scenario where this server is outside the OOB network and cannot be reached from rSeries. I can see from the PCAP that rSeries is able to receive the ICMP request, but rSeries is not sending an ICMP reply and only an ARP request, as if it doesn't know how to reach the server IP. The following steps I tried but still fail: Adding the allowed IP address: server network and server IP with all protocols. Adding a route to the Linux kernel. Note that only the IP outside the OOB network is not reachable, and no ACL/FW in between. Thanks.168Views0likes2CommentsNetScaler to F5 Migration
Hi Team, I am facing difficulties while converting the NetScaler ns.conf file into an F5 BIG-IP LTM configuration, particularly with VIPs, pools, and nodes. I have attempted multiple methods to perform this conversion but have not had success. If you have any recommended approaches or tools to facilitate this process, please share them with us.

Please find the attached the picture and also the URL below. appreciate your support. Regards,Solved664Views0likes12CommentsAD/LDAP Auth on rSeries F5-OS
AD/LDAP auth on F5-OS seems unnecessarily complicated compared to how TMOS handles it. Does anyone have this working in their environment? If so, can you explain which attributes are created (F5-F5OS-UID, F5-F5OS-GID, uidNumber, gidNumber, etc.) and if they are applied directly to the AD user and/or AD group? The config guide mentions that F5-F5OS-GID is the only required attribute (F5-F5OS-UID defaults to 1001). It's not clear to me if this attribute must be added directly to the user account or if it can be created in an AD group that the user is a member of. Then there is a Solution Article that says LDAP requires the user have a uidNumber and gidNumber. The AD group must have a gidNumber that corresponds to the associated group ID of the F5 system role. They provide an example of a AD user and AD group showing uidNumber and gidNumber, but there is no reference to F5-F5OS-GID.503Views1like2Comments
