**Please consult with WorldTech IT to discuss whether this option is best suited for your environment.
Additionally, follow these instructions carefully, as incorrect management-route configurations can impact the functionality of your device.** Reference:

> **SSH to the management of each BIG-IP and enter the TMSH shell** Enter the following: ```yaml theme={null} create /sys management-route /32 gateway save /sys config ``` * `` must be replaced with the IP address of the Cloud.Red agent that will be interfacing with your device * `` must be replaced with the IP address of the gateway appropriate to leave the management interface and route the traffic to the agent. * This is normally the same IP address as the default management route > **Note:** this configuration does not sync among BIG-IPs, and must be repeated on each BIG-IP in a cluster.
> This must be completed before performing any of the following steps

## Syslog Configuration In the GUI, visit System ›› Logs : Configuration : Remote Logging
Add the IP of the Cloud.Red agent your BIGI-P will interface with, for port 514.
Click the update button when done.

## SNMP Trap Configuration In the GUI, visit System ›› SNMP : Traps : Destination
Add a new destination, version set to v2c, community to public, destination to the IP address of the agent that will be interfacing with, port to 162, and network to “Other”.
> **Note:** if setting a management route for SNMP Traps to leave your management interfaces (as noted in the section above), use network “Management”. Click the finished button when done.

## SNMP Polling Configuration In the GUI, visit System ›› SNMP : Agent : Configuration
**Add the agents IP address to SNMP access.**

In the GUI, visit System ›› SNMP : Agent : Access (v1, v2c)
Gather an existing community string that agent can use or create a new one.
If creating a new community string: * Add a new record, for the Community set the desired string. Source can optionally be set to the IP address of the Cloud.Red agent that will be interfacing with this BIG-IP (this is not required). * Leave Access set to read only. * Click the finished button when done.

## Add the WorldTech IT Monitoring Heartbeat Logic * SSH to the management of BIGIP and enter the BASH shell
Reference:
[myF5](https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K10272)
Execute the following: ```yaml tmsh.yaml theme={null} tmsh create sys icall script WTIT-MONITORING-HEARTBEAT-icall-script definition { catch { exec /bin/logger -p local0.notice "01070728:5: Node WTIT-MONITORING-HEARTBEAT monitor status up." } } tmsh create sys icall handler periodic WTIT-MONITORING-HEARTBEAT-icall-handler { interval 60 script WTIT-MONITORING-HEARTBEAT-icall-script } tmsh save /sys config ``` **If there are any difficulties or questions, please contact WorldTech IT to schedule a working session.**
