6. Power on the DC power source.
The system begins to boot up.
Licensing the platform
Once the cluster IP address is configured for the platform, you can use the Configuration utility to license the appropriate
BIG-IP software.
1. Using a Web browser, navigate to the cluster IP address that you assigned to the VIPRION platform.
Use the following format where <cluster ip address> is the cluster IP address you assigned:
https://<cluster ip address>
2. Type admin as the user name and admin as the password.
If this is the first time you have accessed the Configuration utility, the first screen you see is the License screen.
3. Follow the instructions in the Configuration utility to license the platform.
For more information about licensing the system, click the Help tab.
Verifying blade availability
At this point, you have successfully installed the VIPRION platform, powered it, assigned it an IP address, and licensed
it for use. Now you need to ensure that the blades you installed are recognized by the software and available for processing
network traffic.
1. Using a Web browser, navigate to the cluster IP address that you have assigned to the VIPRION platform.
The Configuration utility opens.
2. On the Main tab of the navigation pane, expand System and then select Clusters.
The main Clusters screen opens.
3. In the section Cluster Members, verify that all blades listed have a green circle icon in the Status column.
The green circle icon indicates that the cluster member is up and operational.
You have now successfully installed a VIPRION platform and prepared it for use on your network. The next steps
involve further configuring the platform with the trunks, VLANs, and self IP addresses necessary for it to manage your
network traffic effectively.
