F5 not re-activating

Hi if anyone can advise or assist please I am having issues with reactivating my BIgip, it just timeout

 

my management ip is out of band, and its being made to be able to go to the internet to allow the bigip in HA mode to be able to be activated, but it just timeouts.

 

it has to go over the management ip to activate or does it use another ip

  • Hi Pheonix,

    you can relicense via CLI as follows (make sure to save a full config backup archive before):
    grep -iE 'reg.*key' /config/bigip.license  
    (copy the registration key)   
    get_dossier -b 
    (get new license from license.f5.com)
    cp /config/bigip.license /config/bigip.license.backup
    cat > /config/bigip.license
    (Paste new license; finish paste with )
    reloadlic
    

    Please be aware, that with "reloadlic" the services of the device will be restarted.

    Thanks, Stephan
