18497 TopicsQuestion regarding F5 Viprion Configuration Migration to VE.
Requires suggestion regarding migration process-from F5 Viprion (B2250 /vCMP Guest -LTM Module) to F5 VE (On VMWare) in same datacenter. Both on F5 version 17.1.1 1.Is there any migration guide available , which includes detailed step by step process ? 2.This will be phased migration (few VS at a time ) or all configuration can be moved to VE at once ? 3.What due care needs to be taken before , during & after migration.31Views0likes2Commentscross platform migration issue
Hi, we want to migrate the config from iseries 4K to rseries 5k . The current software version on iseries is 13.x.. I tried to run bigip v15.x on rseries, then export the config from iseries and import it into rseries, but not successful, there were some errors. Can someone please advise how should I do to make the migration successful? Thanks in advance!101Views0likes2CommentsTCL error: _cgc_pick_clientside
Hi, in an ASM-LTM (Perimeter) Setup I see frquently the following logs: ***err: tmm3[19962]: 01220001:3: TCL error: _cgc_pick_clientside - unknown cgc sni: f5-bei1.xxxx.xx (line 49) invoked from within "CGC::sni $tls_servername"*** Any idea what this TCL error causes? The clientssl is quite Basic: one certificate chain, no Server Name set. Thanks, Rolf1.2KViews1like5CommentsList all F5 macs?
I'm trying to track down a couple of mac addresses sent to me by the CyberOps team and haven't been able to find them. I've checked our F5s (OUIs are 00:0a:49 and 00:23:e9), but don't see any macs with those. A couple of our test F5s were recently decommissioned, and I'm wondering if the macs may have belonged to one of them. The command I'm using to display the macs on each of our F5s is... tmsh show sys mac-address Does this command return a complete list, or are there some macs it misses? Is there another command I need to use as well? Thanks!55Views0likes1CommentWarning while running tmsh load sys config verify
Hello , I ran "tmsh load sys config verify" before code upgrade of an HA having LTM, APM , ASM running on it. No idea about 2 warning shown below. How to fix it before Code Upgrade ? Or with this Warning can I still proceed for Code upgrade ?

He creado un script de Python que te permite obtener información crucial de tu dispositivo F5 de manera rápida y sencilla. Con él, podrás obtener: 📋 Información del Sistema: Hostname, versión de TMOS, modelo de hardware y número de serie. 🚦 Estado de Alta Disponibilidad (HA) 🌐 Servidores Virtuales: Estado, dirección de destino, disponibilidad y un par de detalles importantes. El script utiliza la librería f5-sdk para conectarse a tu dispositivo F5 BIG-IP y extraer la información relevante. Solo necesitas proporcionar el nombre de usuario y la dirección IP del dispositivo como argumentos. https://github.com/exzo3/virtual-server/tree/main61Views0likes1CommentLTM VS padding payload response with whitespaces and asterisk
I have an application that talks to an old OpenVMS system, which was problematic in permanently closing TCP connections. To resolve this issue, I have put a BIG-IP Virtual Server in between them, so the message flow is now: webMethods --> BIG-IP LTM --> OpenVMS server This has resolved the TCP connection issue, and I thought everything was good. However, the application sends XML, and the VMS system responds with the XML payload. For some reason, BIG-IP is padding the response with lots whitespaces and one asterisk * The webMethods server does not expect the * in the response and fails to process the response to the client (who originally sent the XML). So why is BIG-IP adding the * to the response payload? I've included a WireShark trace image, which shows the BIG-IP VS 10.1.4.170 responding to the webMethods server 10.1.4.225, with the payload, including lots of HEX 20 (whitespace) and one * at the end. My VS configuration uses Type Standard with all the defaults, except, of course, that I've configured the Destination Address and Service Port (3012) and added a Pool. The closes F5 article I have found is this one: K44201501: BIG-IP is padding HTTP response with additional whitespaces https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K44201501 However, I don't have Analytics configured on this VS, and I don't have Application Visibility and Reporting (AVR) provisioned. So, this doesn't apply, but it's a similar issue.Solved43Views0likes2CommentsSNI Sites not taking correct certificate.

Could someone please help what could be the issue in this case.135Views0likes8CommentsPKI PIN works for users from one network, not the other.
We have external users and internal users accessing a virtual server. It's fronted by an APM policy, that asks for the DoD PKI/pin, does an OCSP check, LDAP check, and then sends users on their way to LTM. (there's no SSO, or anything involved) When being load balanced to the application, the end application prompts the users for their PKI/PIN at the app again for access. For the internal network users, this works. For the external network users, their PIN is not being accepted. Is there something I'm missing on the F5 side of things? I even disabled APM for that FQDN through the VS and it still has the same result.22Views0likes1Comment
