F5 Rseries HA
Dears, I know that there is no HA between rseries appliance, and the HA will be configured between tenants on each appliance, my question her about when i prepare to configure HA between Tenant so before making this i will configure the network setting and VLAN on F5OS so I will need a dedicated interface and HA VLAN between two tenants on each appliance so what is the next step after I configured the network setting on Appliance (F5OS), and what i need to confirm on the network setting that i will configure on each appliance (F5OS) to make HA between the two tenantsF5OS 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 GUIand 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+.
rSeries clean shut down
I am remotely managing some rSeries appliances for a customer. Two of the appliances must be physically moved soon. I have found KB articles telling me what NOT to do when powering off a rSeries appliance, but I have not found a document with a recommended shut down process. Naturally, I will remotely set all tenants from Deployed to Provisioned first. Engineers on site can will have hands on the appliances. Which method will provide the cleanest shut down for F5OS: console in to AOM and select "P" option, or use the LCD (I assume there is a "Power Off" option)? Or is there is another method? Thank you.
