RDP Webtop deployment
Hello, I am trying to deploy a webtop with an RDP resource assigned and I have two questions: For the RDP resource destination, is it advisable to use as destination a virtual server (RDP 3389) with a pool of multiple rdp session hosts - hosted on the same f5? Following the guide (Configuring Remote Desktop Access), I see that an RDG policy assignment is used. Is this really necessary? I have deployed without it and it works without an issue. What are the advantages? Because in my experience the Client Type is never Microsoft RDP Client ( I tested and it always matches the fallback) Thanks,
BIG-IP i11000 – License compatibility with TMOS versions above 14.1.2 and Web GUI inaccessible
We are currently working on the recovery of an F5 BIG-IP i11000 appliance and would like guidance. The device boots normally and console access is available. However, the system remains in an INOPERATIVE state and the Web GUI is not accessible. MCP and related services do not fully initialize. A valid license file exists locally at /config/bigip.license. The license is bound to TMOS version 14.1.2. We understand that this license may only be valid for TMOS 14.1.2.x hotfix versions. The system currently has installation images for TMOS versions 15.x, 16.x, 17.x and later available. We would like clarification on the following points. Does a license bound to TMOS 14.1.2 support only version 14.1.2.x, or can it run versions above that? If the license is limited to 14.1.2.x, is reinstalling TMOS 14.1.2 on a new volume the correct recovery approach? Can an incompatible TMOS version cause the Web GUI to fail, MCP not to start correctly, and the system to remain in an INOPERATIVE state? Our goal is to restore full functionality while remaining compliant with the existing license, without performing an upgrade. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you. Lucas Felipe de Jesus Moura
Does XC DNS support health monitoring for CNAME records?
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding health monitor with CNAME records in the XC DNS Load Balancer. If I configure a Type A DNS Load Balancer in XC, I can attach a DNS pool with health monitor. However, if I configure a Type CNAME DNS Load Balancer with a CNAME-type pool, I can't select any health monitor for the CNAME pool. Our goal is to monitor a server service hosted in a third-party cloud and avoid the cloud edge service going down. Once the XC DNS detect a service failure, then it will reply with the fallback dns record (from another cloud service) to the user. Is there have any other way to monitor the health of CNAME pool ? Regards, Ding

Configuration Assistance: Configure Email Alerts for HA Failover Events and Device Offline
We have a BIG-IP VE High Availability Pair deployed in Microsoft Azure. We need to configure the BIG-IP to automatically send an email notification to our Operations teams immediately when a Failover event occurs(When the unit goes from Active to Standby or Offline) Could you provide the recommended procedure for the configuration to trigger these email alerts?
