F5OS login with admin/root failed via console
Right now we have a new rSeries installed, which is currently only accessible via console cable. First login with default password was fine and changing password was also successful. Then I prepared the device with our default configuration including TACACS authentication. Also appliance-mode is enabled. All configurations were commited successfully. Now when I try to login in again, it failed with "login incorrect" error, but the password is definitely correct. What's the reason for this and how can I get access again? Or do I need to wait until the management port is up and TACACS server is reachable? Or how can I fully reset the device again? Power cycle and then interrupting the boot process? Is there a documentation available, how to perform this? Thank you! Regards, Stefan
problems with LTM serial connection to Raritan Dominion SX II
We converted our remote console access devices from Cyclades (which worked great) to Raritan Dominion SX II systems and I can't get many of the LTMs to work properly. I have a Viprion 2400 pair and a 6900 pair working fine, but our 8900, 3600 and 1600's won't stay connected. I get garbage on the screen and can't get any proper response on the console. All console settings are default (19200 8,N,1). Anyone seen this before or have any ideas on a solution? Thanks.
Configure console access banner
Hi, I would like to configure a banner for the console access as for GUI or CLI. I could find how to create the banner for http(s) access and also for ssh, but I can't find the same for console access. I see also that there is an option to display a message after the login, but not before. Do you know if this configuration exists on F5? Thank you,
Active serial console on Viprion chassis with two blades
Hi there, I got a Viprion 2400 chassis with two 2150 blades in slots 1 and 2. I've connected the console ports of both blades to my console server but I'm getting confused with how the consoles are working. I'd expect to get login (or AOM access) on both consoles or at least in the console of the blade that has the role of master in the cluster, but I only get the blade 2 console even the blade in slot 1 is the master. I've tried to disable slot 2 and I'm still getting console on this physical connection and the console of blade in slot 1 is completely dead. I can't get login nor AOM access through it. I don't understand how console access works when you have a cluster with more than a blade in a chassis. Which console is active? Can't I have both consoles actives? Thanks.
