Product selection
If you are configuring a BIG-IP Cache Controller, BIG-IP FireGuard, or
BIG-IP LB Controller, you must now select one of these three as your
product. When you have made your selection, the features supported by that
product will be enabled.
Note
You may change your product selection at a later time by running command
line version of the Setup utility and selecting the Select type of BIG-IP
option.
Once you have configured your system based on one of the three product
selections (BIG-IP Cache Controller, BIG-IP FireGuard, or BIG-IP LB
Controller), changing the product selection will most likely invalidate that
configuration. Therefore, you need to change and update your configuration
after you have rebooted the system under the new product selection.
Root password
A root password allows you command line administrative access to the
BIG-IP system. We recommend that the password contain a minimum of
6 characters, but no more than 32 characters. Passwords are case-sensitive,
and we recommend that your password contain a combination of upper- and
lower-case characters, as well as numbers and special characters for
example, !@#$%^&*. Once you enter a password, the Setup utility
prompts you to confirm your root password by typing it again. If the two
passwords match, your password is immediately saved. If the two passwords
do not match, the Setup utility provides an error message and prompts you
to re-enter your password.
Host name
The host name identifies the BIG-IP itself. Host names must be fully
qualified domain names (FQDNs). The host portion of the name must start
with a letter, and must be at least two characters. The name, or host part of
the name, must be 39 characters or less. The label part of the name must be
63 characters or fewer. For example:
<host 39 characters or less>.<label 63 characters or less>.net
