Add or edit an F5 LTM server to an Address Manager configuration.

Before adding an F5 LTM server to Address Manager, ensure you have completed the following prerequisites:
  • You must be using an F5 LTM v11.6 or later with REST API support
  • The F5 LTM environment should be preconfigured on the F5 management interface with Virtual Servers linked to the F5 resource pool
  • Users must have administrative access to both the web management and SSH command line interfaces on the F5 system.
  • TCP port 443 must be open in both directions.
  • TCP port 22 must be open in both direction for SSH access to the command line interface and also for configuration verification.

To add or edit an LTM server:

  1. From the configuration drop-down menu, select a configuration.
  2. Select the Servers tab. Tabs remember the page you last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the Configuration information page.
  3. Under Servers, click New.
    If editing a server, click the server name. From the Details page, click the server name menu then select Edit.

      Note: The Management URL will be used for RESTful API communication between Address Manager and the BIG-IP DNS Server.
