Associating the primary IP address and VLAN with the host name
After you assign interfaces to VLANs, you can choose one VLAN/IP
address combination as the primary IP address to associate with the unit host
name.
Configuring remote web server access
The BIG-IP web server provides the ability to set up remote web access on
each VLAN. When you set up web access on a VLAN, you can connect to
the web-based configuration utility through the VLAN. To enable web
access, specify a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for each VLAN. The
BIG-IP web server configuration also requires that you define a user ID and
password. If SSL is available, the configuration also generates
authentication certificates.
The Setup utility guides you through a series of screens to set up remote web
access.
• The first screen prompts you to select the VLAN you want to configure
for web access. After you select an interface to configure, the utility
prompts you to type a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for the
interface. You can configure web access on one or more interfaces.
• After you configure the interface, the utility prompts you for a user name
and password. After you type a user name and password, the utility
prompts you for a vendor support account. The vendor support account is
not required.
• The certification screen prompts you for country, state, city, company,
and division.
If you ever change the IP addresses or host names on the BIG-IP interfaces,
you must reconfigure the BIG-IP web server and the portal to reflect your
new settings.
You can also add users to the existing password file, change a password for
an existing user, or recreate the password file, without actually repeating the
remote web server configuration process.
If you have modified the remote web server configuration outside of the
configuration utility, be aware that some changes may be lost when you run
the Setup utility. This utility overwrites the httpd.conf file and openssl.conf.
