Access F5 BIG-IP (3 Nic) in GCP (Google Cloud) Deployment

Dear All,

 

follow below link to deploy the the 3 Nic deployment in GCP:

https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-google-gdm-templates/tree/master/supported/standalone/3nic

 

it deployed successfully, but i can't access it. Where:

 

SSH:

Put the key in the GCP Instance SSH Key meta-data entry, but it keep prompt me for password when ssh to it. (via the management nic)

 

Web console:

i can access the web console login page, but can't login via the default credential. (via the external nic)

understand i should need to ssh to it , and create web access credential instead, but i just can't access the ssh as above

 

Any clue? Thanks in advance.

 

Br,

    while accessing ssh are you using admin as username or root as username.

    Thanks Ragunath154,

     

    i tried to generate key for both admin and root, but it keeps prompt me 'password', but default password is failed.

     

    i just follow the steps in the link below:

    https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-google-gdm-templates/tree/master/supported/standalone/3nic

     

    not sure if i missed something, and attached the corresponding yaml file. (masked the license)

     

    tried to access via 'console port' but again, it prompts me for login.

     

    welcome any one comment.

     

    Br.

    When you press the ssh button a new window pops up and then asks for password. ESC out of that and press the settings gear icon in top right. Change Linux Username is the setting you want and make it admin. After that it should take you directly to cli and you can update root and admin passwords.
