BigIQ inquiry
Hi All,
I have bigiq and we need the to manage a lot of F5, i have management VLAN, do i need to create selfip of BigIQ and connect it to management vlan? or the management VLAN will do?
Actually, according to the BIG-IQ documentation:
"Each managed device must be configured with a communication route from its self IP address or management IP address to a BIG-IQ system self IP addresses. Otherwise, discovery will fail.”
However, it does also point out that “F5 recommends that you use a BIG-IP self IP address for discovery.”
Therefore it would seem to me that the recommended/preferred route of management of F5 devices by BIG-IQ is over the "traffic" interfaces, and not over the Management network.
