Configuring Bigip LTM VE
Hi,
How can I configure the Bigip LTM VE without logging into the system ?
Like entering the license and configuring the ip address and all
Yes, you can boot via DHCP (version >=11.3) to get a management address on a VE. You can specify the IP address issued to any particular VE via standard MAC address reservation (eth0 on the VE) configured on your DHCP server.
From there, you can continue provisioning (licensing, module provisioning, creating VLANs, self IPs, etc) via iControl API calls or by scripted ssh tmsh commands.
Tell me a little more about what specific provisioning tasks you're looking to accomplish automatically and I'll be happy to help.
