F5 remote authentication - RADIUS configuration
Hi,
I'm trying to configure RADIUS authentication on the F5s, but its not working though.
I have used a single Radius server and F5 self-ip address is added in the list of Radius clients on the Radius server. I took a packet capture and see that radius authentications packets are triggering from Management interface rather than the TMM - self-IPs. As per document - 201 exam study guide– TMOS Administration @ Objective - 4.04
Note: The BIG-IP system normally routes remote authentication traffic through a Traffic Management
Microkernel (TMM) switch interface (that is, an interface associated with a VLAN and a self-IP address),
rather than through the management interface. Therefore, if the TMM service has been stopped for any
reason, remote authentication is not available until the service is running again.
could you please clarify on this. thanks again.
