Three basic steps to overall process
1. During the first step you set the IP address, net mask and optionally the default route for the management port if the default IP address is not appropriate for your network.
2. The second step is to license the system. After connecting BIP-IP to the network, you need a valid license to active the software. this enables the features you purchased.
3. The step is to configure the administrator access to BIG-IP. This includes settings the root and the web administrator passwords as well as optionally defines various network and vlan settings.
Several utilities & tools during the setup process.
Setup tools:
1. SSH client :- To establish a remote command line session to the BIG-IP's management port, you will need a SSH client. we recommend putty, which you can download.
2. Serial Terminal client :- To establish a serial connection between your PC or laptop and the BIG-IP console port, you will need a serial terminal client we recommend tera term you can also use other serial terminal clients such as hyper terminal or net term. all of these applications are downloaded from the internet.
Note:- The serial terminal setting should be N-8-1 at 19,000 bps using an emulator type of Vt 100.
3. BIG-IP config script :- To configure the IP address of the management ports as well as other network parameters, you will use either a BIG-IP command line configuration script which is is already loaded on the system or the LCD panel on the hardware.
4. BIP-IP web based configuration utility :- To license the system and configure administrator access, you will use the BIG-IP web based configuration utility note that this configuration utility uses SSL and access control lists to provide secure real time configuration.
Step2: License the system.
Step3: Configure administrator access.
Setting the management IP address :
By default IP address of the BIG-IP management port is 192.168.1.245, default net mask is 255.255.255.0 . There is no default network route.
Although you can use the default IP address most people change it. It is important to set this address, as well as net mask and route prior to licensing the system.
BIG-IP offers two approaches for the configuring this information 1. the command line config script or the LCD panel on hardware.
1. Access the system :- To change the ip address, net mask and default route of BIG-IP, you will need to access the system via the serial console. to do so connect a null modem cable between the BIG-IP console port and the serial port on the BIG-IP console port and not to the fail over port.
2. Connect and login :- Using your serial terminal client, open a serial connection log in as the "root" user with a password "default"
3. Run configuration Script :- to run the configuration script, type "config" at the comment line.
4. Type appropriate values :- As the script prompts you, type the appropriate system Ip address, net mask and optionally a default route.
5. Confirm choices :- The configuration script display the choices you have made confirm or change the values.
