After going through the guide for F5 on AWS, I cannot ping the Elastic IP

I have gone through the document a couple of times, and when I hit "Connect" and then type in the ssh -i "aws_f5_march.pem" admin@52.73.38.5 or root@ -- it times out.   Ping 52.73.38.5 also times ...

Hello TTF888,

 

Assuming the BIG-IP has successfully reported '2/2 checks passed', this sounds like a security group configuration issue. The example given in 'Creating New Security Groups' section of the guide below is wide open, so it should be refined for your environment.

Can you ping any other guests that are using the same VPC?

 

The AMI-ID of the BIG-IP you are deploying and the AWS region may be helpful in troubleshooting.
