F5OS 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.

Making a default route is breaking my management auth
Hello, I have TACACS configured for Configuration Utility/GUI access and it works. My problem is, when i make a default route on the box network > routes: source: 0.0.0.0 dest: 0.0.0.0 gateway: (gateway ip of my internal vlan, not same as my management network) This kills my boxes authentication with TACACS on the management side. Shouldn't the F5 reach out to TACACS on its management interface?

GTM/DNS and LTM - iQuery via Mgmt Ort Self-ip
Hey Guys, is it possible to connect the GTMs and LTMs (for dataexchange via iquery) via the mgmt interface and is there a best practice to do this via mgmt interface OR a configured self-ip?

MGMT interface in routing domain?
Hi, I have 2x BIG-IP LTM and DNS (GTM) and I need to install them inside customer tenant in cloud environment. Problem is that I need to have MGMT in separate routing domain because of IP overlapping. I cannot isolate data interfaces to routing domain because I'm using GTM and (as far as I know) GTM listener cannot be part of routing domain. Can I somehow move MGMT interface in routing domain? Second solution could be to dedicate some Self IP in non-default routing domain for MGMT, but in that case what with NTP service (can I use it), what with device sync (i will use device-group for config sync and failover) etc... Software version is 12.1.1 Br, Mate

How to disable HSTS on the management interface ?
Hi, I regularly have to clean my browser cache to be able to connect to the BIG-IP management webui due to the HSTS feature. I saw that this header is served in response from BIG-IP mgmt webui, but as I regularly use BIG-IPs in labs, at the end the browser reject my connection because several SSL security requirements are not followed.
