Booting the Switch

The private-subnet and VLAN information appears at the top of a the failed
switch’s

running-config file from a failed switch. The private-subnet information is
highlighted in bold text:

Entering the Private Subnet
Enter the private subnet and VLAN of the failed switch, as well as the
VLAN for the private metalog subnet. The VLANs must be unique in your
network, shared only amongst the ARXes in the RON. The defaults (1002
and 1003) may be sufficient for your installation. For example:
...
The switch's internal subnet requires an IP address and mask.
7. Enter the switch's private IP address
in the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.(default=169.254.6.0) # 169.254.196.0
8. Enter the switch's private subnet mask
in the format nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.(default=255.255.255.0) # <Enter>
The private subnet VLAN is used externally for redundancy traffic.
Be sure this value does not conflict with existing VLAN IDs.
9. Enter the switch's private subnet VLAN
in the format integer [1-4095].(default=1002) # 1004 <Enter>
The private subnet metalog VLAN is used for storing file-change
logs on battery-backed NVRAM, possibly on a redundant peer.
Be sure this value does not conflict with existing VLAN IDs.
10. Enter the switch's private subnet metalog VLAN
in the format integer [1-4095].(default=1003) # 1005 <Enter>
Finding the UUID of the Failed Switch
When a switch imports storage from back-end filers, it marks each share
with its Universally-Unique ID (UUID). A replacement switch must use the
same UUID or it rejects all of the shares used by its predecessor. You also
need to set the UUID if the switch is brought back to its factory defaults; a
“Manufacturing Installation” by F5 personnel resets the switch and its
UUID.
The UUID appears at the top of a switch’s
show running-config output. For
example, this is the top of a running-config file from a switch named
“gffstnA.” The UUID is highlighted in bold text:
