F5 BIG-IP Declarative Onboarding

Releases Issues

Introduction

F5 BIG-IP Declarative Onboarding uses a declarative model to initially configure a F5 BIG-IP device with all of the required settings to get up and running. This includes system settings such as licensing and provisioning, network settings such as VLANs and Self IPs, and clustering settings if you are using more than one BIG-IP system.

IMPORTANT Beginning with F5 BIG-IP DO 1.8.0, the DO RPM, Postman collection, and checksum files will no longer be located in the /dist directory in this repository. These files can be found on the Release page, as Assets.
