Lab 3 Onboard a BIG-IP via BIG-IQ ================================= In the previous labs, we pushed the declaration directly to BIG-IP. In this lab, we are going to send our JSON declaration to BIG-IQ, which will configure the BIG-IP. Additionally, the device will be onboarded and managed by BIG-IQ. #. Review the declaration for **BIG-IP-03**, and notice the following changes: - Updated license class - New statements to target the BIG-IQ #. Just as before we will use VSCode to send the declaration. This time we will send the declaration to BIG-IQ and BIG-IQ will onboard the BIG-IP. - Use the copy button in the upper right hand corner of the declaration below - Paste the declaration into the VSCode editor .. attention:: Be sure to connect to the BIG-IQ device in VSCode before sending the declaration. .. code-block:: JSON { "class": "DO", "declaration": { "schemaVersion": "1.5.0", "class": "Device", "async": true, "Common": { "class": "Tenant", "myLicense": { "class": "License", "licensePool": "lab-licenses", "licenseType": "licensePool", "bigIpUsername": "admin", "bigIpPassword": "@gi1ity2022" }, "myProvisioning": { "class": "Provision", "ltm": "nominal", "gtm": "minimum", "afm": "minimum" }, "myDns": { "class": "DNS", "nameServers": [ "8.8.8.8", "2001:4860:4860::8844" ], "search": [ "f5.com" ] }, "myNtp": { "class": "NTP", "servers": [ "0.pool.ntp.org", "1.pool.ntp.org", "2.pool.ntp.org" ], "timezone": "UTC" }, "external": { "class": "VLAN", "interfaces": [ { "name": "1.1", "tagged": false } ] }, "internal": { "class": "VLAN", "interfaces": [ { "name": "1.2", "tagged": false } ] }, "external-fl": { "vlan": "external", "class": "SelfIp", "address": "10.1.10.240/24", "trafficGroup": "traffic-group-1" }, "internal-fl": { "vlan": "internal", "class": "SelfIp", "address": "10.1.20.240/24", "trafficGroup": "traffic-group-1" }, "external-self": { "vlan": "external", "class": "SelfIp", "address": "10.1.10.241/24", "allowService": "none" }, "internal-self": { "vlan": "internal", "class": "SelfIp", "address": "10.1.20.241/24" }, "defualt": { "gw": "10.1.10.1", "class": "Route" }, "myConfigSync": { "class": "ConfigSync", "configsyncIp": "10.1.20.241" }, "myFailoverUnicast": { "class": "FailoverUnicast", "address": "10.1.20.241" }, "hostname": "bigip-03.compute.internal" } }, "targetUsername": "admin", "targetHost": "10.1.1.8", "targetPort": 443, "targetPassphrase": "@gi1ity2022", "bigIqSettings": { "statsConfig": { "enabled": true }, "useBigiqSync": true, "conflictPolicy": "USE_BIGIQ", "deviceConflictPolicy": "USE_BIGIP", "failImportOnConflict": false, "versionedConflictPolicy": "KEEP_VERSION" } } #. Once the declaration completes, login to **BIG-IQ-01**. .. note :: | **URL:** https\://10.1.1.9 | **Username:** admin | **Password:** @gi1ity2022 .. attention :: When onboarding BIG-IP-03 via BIG-IQ-01 the DO post may take a few minutes to complete. Be sure wait until the declaration result window appears in VSCode with the success message before proceeding. .. attention :: When the declaration is complete you may notice that BIG-IQ is still adding the device. This is expected as BIG-IQ will perform the device onboarding first. Afterwards, it will proceed to add the device and discover services on the BIG-IP. #. Navigate to the devices tab and then click on BIG-IP devices. - Notice that the BIG-IP device has been added to BIG-IQ .. image:: images/bigiq_1.png #. Login into **BIG-IP-03** and review the configurations. .. note :: | **URL:** https\://10.1.1.8 | **Username:** admin | **Password:** @gi1ity2022 This completes the Declarative Onboarding lab ---------------------------------------------
