To assign the self IP address to the VLAN group
You can assign a self IP address to the VLAN group using the bigpipe
command, as follows:
b self <ip address> vlan <vlangroup name>
To verify that Layer 2 forwarding is enabled
Layer 2 forwarding is enabled for the VLAN group using the vlan
proxy_forward attribute. This attribute is enabled by default when the
VLAN group is enabled. To verify that proxy forwarding is enabled, type
the following command:
b vlans show
Setting up security for VLANs
You can lock down a VLAN to prevent direct connection to the BIG-IP
through that VLAN. You can override this lockdown for specific services by
enabling the corresponding global variable for that service. For example:
b global open_ssh_port enable
To enable or disable port lockdown using the Configuration
utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Network.
The VLAN screen opens.
2. Click the VLAN name in the list.
The properties screen for that VLAN opens.
3. To enable port lockdown, click a check in the Port Lockdown box.
To disable port lockdown, clear the Port Lockdown check box.
4. Click Done.
To enable or disable port lockdown from the command line
To enable port lockdown, type:
b vlan <vlan_name> port_lockdown enable
To disable port lockdown, type:
b vlan <vlan_name> port_lockdown disable
Setting fail-safe timeouts for VLANs
For redundant BIG-IP pairs, you can enable a failsafe mechanism that will
fail over when loss of traffic is detected on a VLAN, and traffic is not
restored during the fail-over timeout period for that VLAN. You can enable
a fail-safe mechanism to attempt to generate traffic when half the timeout
has elapsed. If the attempt is successful, the fail-over is stopped.
