Options available only through the Setup utility menu
This section contains descriptions of options that are available only through
the Setup utility menu. These options include:
• Initializing the iControl portal
• Configuring RSH
• Configuring remote access
Initialize the iControl portal
This option is available in the menu only after you create the initial software
configuration. Select this option to configure the CORBA ports (IIOP and
FSSL). This option prompts you for a list of IP addresses or host names you
want to embed as objects in the Portal object reference. Typically, in a
redundant system, this list includes the fail-over IP address of the other
BIG-IP in the redundant system.
This option prompts you to set the Portal to use IP addresses instead of DNS
names. If the Portal is set to use IP addresses, the BIG-IP does not have to
do a DNS lookup.
In addition to these settings, you can change the following iControl portal
settings:
• You can set the security mode of the portal. You can allow the portal to
handle non-secure requests.
