file defines standard system alerts. Do not edit this file.
• The /config/user_alert.conf
file defines custom settings. You should edit only this file.
1.
Open a command prompt on the system.
2.
Change to the /config directory.
cd /config
3.
Using a text editor, such as vi or Pico, open the /config/user_alert.conf
file.
4.
Edit the file, as needed.
For example, add these lines to the end of the file to create a custom alert in which the front panel
LEDs indicate when a node is down: alert BIGIP_MCPD_MCPDERR_POOL_MEMBER_MON_DOWN "Pool member (.*?):(.*?) monitor status down."
{
snmptrap OID=".1.3.6.1.4.1.3375.2.4.0.10";

About platform interfaces
Every platform includes multiple interfaces. The exact number of interfaces that are on the system depends on the platform type.
Each interface on the platform has a set of properties that you can configure, such as enabling or disabling the interface, setting the requested media type and duplex mode, and configuring flow control.

Platform Overview
About 40GbE QSFP+ interfaces
On platforms that include 40GbE interface ports, you can use the ports as a single 40GbE port or as four
10GbE SFP+ ports.
Each 40GbE port supports four bicolor green/amber LEDs to indicate the combined link and activity status of each port while operating in both native 40GbE modes (bundled), in addition to in 4 x 10GbE breakout mode (unbundled). When operating in a native 40GbE mode, all four LEDs operate in unison per port to indicate the combined link and activity status for a given port. When operating in a 4 x 10GbE breakout mode, all four LEDs are used independently to indicate the combined link and activity status for each 10GbE breakout port.
The 40GbE ports (i5000/i7000 Series: 3.0-6.0 and i10000 Series: 3.0-8.0) default to 40GbE. The cable that you use when operating at 40GbE is an industry-standard OM3 qualified multi-mode fiber optic cable with female MPO/MTP connectors at both ends. You must provide your own cable for 40GbE operation.
You can also disable the 40GbE bundle and use them as individual 10GbE ports using a QSFP+ breakout cable. This cable has a female MPO/MTP connector at one end, which connects to the QSFP+ port, and four LC duplex connectors at the other end, which connect to SFP+ modules on an upstream switch.
Note: If you are using a breakout cable for 10GbE connectivity, you should use the supported distance as detailed in the Specifications for fiber QSFP+ modules section of the F5 ® Platforms: Accessories guide and not the Specifications for fiber SFP+ modules section.
You can order these QSFP+ components from F5 Networks:
• QSFP+ breakout cables (MTP to LC), provided as a pair, in these lengths:
• 1 meter (F5-UPG-QSFP+-1M-2)
• 3 meter (F5-UPG-QSFP+-3M-2+)
• 10 meter (F5-UPG-QSFP+-10M-2)
• F5-branded 40GbE QSFP+ transceiver modules (F5-UPG-QSFP+)

About interface media type and duplex mode
All interfaces on the system default to auto-negotiate speed and full duplex settings. We recommend that you also configure any network equipment that you plan to use with the system to auto-negotiate speed and duplex settings. If you connect the system to network devices with forced speed and duplex settings, you must force the speed and duplex settings of the system to match the settings of the other network device.
Important: If the system is attempting to auto-negotiate interface settings with an interface that has the speed and duplex settings forced (that is, auto-negotiation is disabled), you will experience severe performance degradation.
By default, the media type on interfaces is set to automatically detect speed and duplex settings, but you can specify a media type as well. Use the following syntax to set the media type: tmsh modify net interface <interface_key> media <media_type> | auto
If the media type does not accept the duplex mode setting, a message appears. If media type is set to auto , or if the interface does not accept the duplex mode setting, the duplex setting is not saved to the / config/bigip_base.conf
file.
Important: Auto-MDI/MDIX functionality is retained when you manually configure an interface to use specific speed and duplex settings. You can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable when media settings are forced, and you will be able to successfully link to either DTE or DCE devices.
Viewing valid media types for an interface
You can use tmsh to view the valid media types for an interface.
Note: This platform might not support all of the media type options that are available in tmsh .

Environmental Guidelines
General environmental and installation guidelines
The i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platform is an industrial network appliance that is designed to be mounted in a standard 19-inch EIA rack.
Follow these guidelines to adhere to safety precautions:
• Install the rack according to the manufacturer's instructions and check the rack for stability before placing equipment in it.
• Build and position the rack so that after you install the platform, the power supply and the vents on both the front and back of the unit remain unobstructed. The platform must have adequate ventilation around the unit at all times.
• Although not required, a 1U space between units makes it easier for you to remove the unit from the rack in the event that the unit requires service. A 1U space between units also provides additional cable routing options.
• Leaving at least 100 mm of space from the front panel of the unit to the rack front or rack door provides enough room for you to route the cables without excessive bending or insulation damage.
• A shelf or similar supportive structure is required to support the unit if only one person is installing the unit.
• Do not plug the unit into a branch circuit shared by more electronic equipment than the circuit is designed to manage safely at one time.
• Route and secure power cords so that they do not obstruct removal of the fan tray.
Warning: Due to the weight of the platform, at least two people are required to install this chassis into a rack. Failing to use two people can result in severe personal injury or equipment damage.
Important: This product is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). F5 ® recommends that you use proper ESD grounding procedures and equipment when you install or maintain the unit.
Caution: Customers should not attempt to replace batteries. There is a risk of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type. Field technicians should dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Attention : Il y à risque d'explosion si la batterie est remplacée par une batterie de type incorrect. Mettre au rebut les batteries usagées conformément aux instructions.
Chassis rack-mount spatial requirements
The i5000/i7000/i10000/i11000 Series platforms ship with a rack mount kit to help install the system more easily. This kit requires that the rack or cabinet has certain clearances and spacing, as shown here.

Returned Material Data Security Statement
About returned material data security
Follow these data security guidelines when returning equipment to F5 ® for reprocessing or repair. The guidelines include reprocessing procedures and optional customer-end procedures.
About memory technologies used in F5 equipment
F5 ® equipment contains volatile, battery-backed volatile, and non-volatile memory. Volatile memory loses all traces of data on power down. Battery-backed volatile memory retains data as long as battery charge is maintained. Non-volatile memory retains data indefinitely.
Volatile memory
Volatile memory loses all traces of data on power down; therefore, customer data that is stored in volatile memory is secure when power is removed from the platform. No further action is required by customers for equipment that includes volatile memory.
Battery-backed volatile memory
This F5 ® platform contains a coin battery for maintaining BIOS settings and the system clock. All data maintained by the coin battery is used only for system specific tasks. No customer data is maintained by the battery-backed volatile memory. No further action is required by customers for equipment that includes volatile memory.
Non-volatile memory
F5
®
platforms include various non-volatile memory components. These non-volatile memory components can be categorized as either user inaccessible or user accessible.
Inaccessible non-volatile memory components are programmed during manufacture or software installation. The data stored in user inaccessible non-volatile memory is used for setting voltage levels, determining the sequence of operational events, and the managing appliance operational condition. Data held within user inaccessible, non-volatile memory represents no data security risk to customers. User inaccessible, non-volatile memory cannot be modified by appliance users, and therefore, contains no customer data.

About removing data from F5 components
For components that contain sensitive customer data and cannot be removed from your F5 ® system, you can take optional steps to remove the data from these components before you return the system to F5 for processing.
Removing sensitive data from storage drives
The hard disk drive (HDD) and solid-state drive (SSD) components included in F5 ® platforms might include sensitive customer data. If you purchase the HDD removal SKU, you can remove the HDD/SSD and coin battery, and these components will be replaced during F5 reprocessing. Otherwise, HDD and
SSD components are processed by F5 through standard processing. You can perform a disk erase operation on your system to remove sensitive customer data.
Perform a disk erase operation using the F5 Disk Erase utility to remove all data on hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs) using a single-pass, zero write disk erase operation. For more information about storage drive maintenance, see F5 ® Platforms: Essentials .
Removing IP address data from Always-On Management
If you have configured an IP address for the Always-On Management (AOM) subsystem, you can remove the customized IP address from the system before returning it to F5 ® Networks.
1.
Connect to the system using the serial console.
2.
Open the AOM Command Menu.
Esc (
3.
Manually assign a new management IP address, netmask, and gateway by typing n when prompted about using DHCP. At the prompts, type 0.0.0.0
for IP address (required), and values for netmask
(required), and gateway (optional).
A confirmation message displays the configured management IP address, netmask, and gateway.
4.
(Optional) Type i to verify the assigned addresses.
