You must discover a device and import that device's service configurations before you
can add a profile to that device from BIG-IQ Centralized
Management.
Creating a new profile allows you
to specify the parameters that define the characteristics you want your virtual servers
to use. Each virtual server that references this profile uses the parameters you specify
for this profile. Additionally, the parameters you define for this profile are given to
the profiles that name this profile as their parent profile.
-
At the top of the screen, click Configuration, then, on
the left, click .
The screen displays the list of FEC tunnel profiles defined on this
device.
-
Click Create.
The New FEC tunnel profile screen opens.
-
In the Name field, type in a name for the FEC tunnel
profile you are creating.
-
For Partition, type the name of the BIG-IP device partition on which you want to create the profile.
-
From Parent Profile, select the parent profile from
which you want your profile to inherit settings.
Note: The parent profile you
select determines the value of the profile parameters for this profile. You
can override these values, but if you do not, changes made to parameters in
the parent profile propagate to all child profiles.
Values for the selected parent profile display. There are two controls
for each field. The first one (a check box) controls whether you want to
override the inherited value for that field. The second control (the type varies
by field) sets the value you want for the parameter.
-
For any fields you want to override, select the Override
check box and then specify the value you want for the fields you selected.
Note: You can select
Override All if you want to override all of the
parent profile parameter values.
Important: If you
override a parent profile parameter, regardless of whether or not you change
the parameter's value, then future changes to the parent's parameter value
will not be inherited by this profile.
Note: For detailed
information on the impact of using a particular profile parameter value,
refer to the BIG-IP Local Traffic Management: Profiles
Reference on support.F5.com.
-
Click Save & Close.
The system creates the new profile you specified and adds it to the list
of profiles.
You can now use the profile you
created. You can select it when you configure a virtual server. You can also use it as a
parent profile to base new BIG-IP FEC tunnel profiles on.
To pin this profile to specific devices, click .
