Remove alerts showing r-series LCD/Dashboard.
Code is community submitted, community supported, and recognized as ‘Use At Your Own Risk’. Especially R5+ with 1.8.0+, may you will see unexpected "interface down" alerts. You could use this one-liner in rseries Bash. Hope it helps :p [root@appliance-1 ~]# date;docker exec system_manager /confd/scripts/f5_confd_run_cmd 'show system alarms alarm state | csv' Mon Sep 1 14:32:24 JST 2025 # show system alarms alarm state | csv ID,RESOURCE,SEVERITY,TEXT,TIME CREATED 263169,interface-1.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.512626724 UTC 263169,interface-10.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.514048068 UTC 263169,interface-2.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.517935094 UTC 263169,interface-5.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.526179871 UTC 263169,interface-6.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.528668180 UTC 263169,interface-7.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.530864483 UTC 263169,interface-8.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.533197062 UTC 263169,interface-9.0,WARNING,Interface down,2025-06-11 02:24:43.535438297 UTC [root@appliance-1 ~]# date;docker exec system_manager /confd/scripts/f5_confd_run_cmd 'show system alarms alarm state | csv'|grep 263169|cut -f 2 -d ,|xargs -I{} docker exec alert-service /confd/test/sendAlert -i 263169 -r clear-all -s {} Mon Sep 1 14:33:27 JST 2025 Alert Sent Alert Sent Alert Sent Alert Sent Alert Sent Alert Sent Alert Sent Alert Sent [root@appliance-1 ~]# date;docker exec system_manager /confd/scripts/f5_confd_run_cmd 'show system alarms alarm state | csv' Mon Sep 1 14:33:54 JST 2025 # show system alarms alarm state | csv % No entries found. <---------- REMOVED. [root@appliance-1 ~]# Ideas came from: https://cdn.f5.com/product/bugtracker/ID1644293.html https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K000150155AD/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.F5OS support for TACACS+ over CLI
We ran into issues deploying rSeries and VELOS platforms on the network at our company using a custom form of TACACS+. Our implementation allows for application-specific domains with unique ports and keys. We had issues with it until we added the attribute value pairs to the TACACS+ domain profiles: Admin (unlimited_config): F5-F5OS-UID=1001 F5-F5OS-GID=9000 Operator (unlimited_enable): F5-F5OS-UID=1001 F5-F5OS-GID=9001 This change resolved the access issues via GUI and we are able to access using our TACACS+ credentials, but it does NOT work via CLI for access using the same credentials. We already have a case out to F5 about this, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same implementation challenge on accessing CLI using TACACS+.
