Connecting to LTM using VMware Orchestrator F5 plugin

Question

Working with VMware Orchestrator 5.5:
Attempting a connection using "Attach LTM" plugin fails when "Use REST API flag" is set to 'no'.  The plugin finishes successfully; however, the status shows "unconnected".&nbsp;
Attempting a connection using "Attach LTM" plugin succeeds when "Use REST API flag" is set to 'yes'.
Also, connections to LTM using the Orchestrator REST plugins work properly.
These connections pass through a firewall.
LTM version 11.5.1 in use.&nbsp;
What changes for the attempted connection when not using the REST API flag ?
Is there any setting on the LTM load balancer that can be modified to achieve success? &nbsp;

Make sure that you have updated the REST framework on the BIG-IP to which you are connecting first. &nbsp;

Hi,

I have the same issue. Can I update the REST framework if I don't have BIG-IQ?

Regards,
Jose
