Log message code list?
SOL16197: Reviewing BIG-IP log files describes local traffic log message format as: Message code is split into: Message code: The code that is associated with the message. The code is comprised of the following sub-codes: Product Code: The first two hex digits form the product code. For example, 0x01 is the BIG-IP product code. Subset Code: The third and fourth hex digits are the subset code. For example, 0x2a is the subset code for LIBHAL. Message Number: The next four digits form the message number within a module. Severity Level: The last digit between the colon symbols is the severity level, with 0 being the highest severity level. Are the Product and Subset codes listed anywhere? Would help in processing log messages further in Splunk or similar tool.
Upload SSL certificate/key via REST API
Hello All, Looking to see if anyone knows of a method of uploading certs and keys to a BIGIP unit, using a method similar to the following example, but using REST instead of the SOAP API. Example: puts bigip["Management.KeyCertificate"].certificate_import_from_pem('MANAGEMENT_MODE_DEFAULT', [ cert['cert_name'] ], [ File.open(cert['cert_file']).read ], true) puts bigip["Management.KeyCertificate"].key_import_from_pem('MANAGEMENT_MODE_DEFAULT', [ cert['cert_name'] ], [ File.open(cert['key_file']).read ], true) Thanks!

I am running bigip 11.4.1 on a 3900 that is licensed for LTM and ASM with client authentication. I am able to configure user authentication to a Windows NPS radius server and have all external users all get authenticated to the windows radius and authorized to the same default external user role. (This is purely for user login access to the BIG-IP managment interface via a browser). I would now like to create four new Windows user groups: F5-Admin, F5-resource-admin, F5-operator, F5-guest. The goal is to have the Windows NPS radius server return the F5 vendor specific attribute "F5-LTM-User-Role" with the appropriate values for the four roles I need. I have the document: "http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/14000/300/sol14324.html". It is not clear to me how to add the role attributes to windows 2008 NPS such that the new role attribute will be returned to the F5 after successful authentication. It is also not clear how to configure the F5 to then take the returned role attribute for the user and over-ride (ignore) the default external role setting. thank you for your help.Bare byte decoding and French characters
Currently, our ASM policies are configured with bare byte decoding check activated. However, this poses problems, as some of our legitimate French pages are flagged with this error. Specifically, it complains about vowels with accents (like à ) which are not part of the ASCII character set (the policy is UTF-8) Is there a way I can prevent these errors appearing in our logs without deactivating the bare byte decoding check? Like a whitelist of characters?Snapshot capability of VE Guests on VCMP
Hi all, I wish to investigate on the backup/restore capcacity beyond ucs backup. With VEs running on VMWare we can take adavantage of VMWare's snapshot capability to have images of the VE before we operate on it. Are there similar capabilities available on my 5250V/VCMP? Cheers, Gabe
Using Plink to run multiple commands
I have a fairly complex script which is trying to consolidate data into a text file using the following command: c:\tools\plink.exe -batch ltmops@%IP% -pw ******* -m a.txt >tempA.txt a portion of the a.txt file is as follows: show ltm virtual a* show ltm virtual b* show ltm virtual c* show ltm virtual d* ... Obviously, I'm trying to pull all of the VIP names. How can I suppress the prompt for "Display all 1014 items? (y/n) " ? I was trying to use "show ltm virtual *" but was being prompted for the same so I broke them out into individual commands, but this resulted in an undesirable high number of authentication requests in the logs. So now, I'm trying to implement the feature of using a file containing multiple commands that may be run under a single session. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
