Note: Serial (hard-wired) failover is not currently supported between VIPRION chassis. If you would like
to set up device service clustering (DSC
®
), previously known as a redundant system configuration, you must
configure network failover. For more information, see BIG-IP
®
Device Service Clustering: Administration.
1.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the MGMT port if you are using the default network configured on the
management interface.
2.
Connect the platform to a serial console server.
Important: In the event that network access is impaired or not yet configured, the serial console might
be the only way to access the chassis. F5
®
strongly recommends that you perform all installations and
upgrades using the serial console, as these procedures require reboots, in which network connectivity
is lost temporarily.
•
Connect the serial console cable supplied by F5 to the CONSOLE port.
Note: The default serial port settings are 19200, n, 8, 1.
•
Connect the RJ45F to RJ45M rolled serial adapter to the CONSOLE port if you are connecting the
system to a serial console server with a standard CAT5 cable, and then connect the CAT5 cable to
the adapter. The adapter provides the appropriate pinout connection to your equipment.

3.
If you have not already done so, power on the chassis.
You can now assign a cluster IP address to the system, and then license and provision the software.
Optionally, you should run the latest version of the qkview utility. This utility collects configuration and
diagnostic information about your system into a single file that you can provide to F5 Support to aid in
troubleshooting. For more information, see

About cluster management
The management IP address for a cluster is known as the cluster IP address. The cluster IP address enables
you to access the browser-based Configuration utility to configure other aspects of the product, such as the
product license, VLANs, trunks, and so on. Connecting to the cluster IP address connects you to the primary
blade in the system.
With VIPRION
®
platforms, you assign cluster IP addresses on a per-cluster basis. Initially, all blades installed
in the chassis belong to a single default cluster. During the initial setup, you only need to assign a single
cluster IP address.
