F5 BIG-IQ REST APIs Introduction to BIG-IQ APIs This guide provides the basic structure of BIG-IQ APIs. The APIs are organized into two groups, each in a separate chapter. The first group is referred to as Shared APIs and the second group is referred to as Central Management APIs. For each API, we define the basic function and then outline the expected structure for the Request, and. To use the APIs defined in this guide, install the virtual machine that we have created to accompany it. Instructions for performing this installation are in the Virtual Edition Setup Guide specific to your hypervisor. BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 1-1

Chapter 1 BIG-IQ Cloud overview The Cloud Service is part of what F5 refers to as its North-bound interface (NBI). The NBI allows third party frameworks and service providers to interact with our cloud deployment and orchestration framework. This integration enables providers to offer their tenants a spectrum of web services that are fully configurable, provide customizable service levels, and provider initiated service deployment, along with monitoring and maintenance features. Cloud/Service Providers are organizations who offer or sell cloud services provided by F5 equipment and products. Tenants are customers of these organizations who require specific services. Tenants can use the Tenant Service to configure and monitor their specific services. It is this Tenant Service that Cloud/Service Providers can use to manage all their tenants as well as the offerings they make available to them. Calls for these APIs are made using standard REST semantics and HTTP verbs. 1-2

F5 BIG-IQ REST APIs BIG-IQ Cloud API conventions The top-level namespace for BIG-IQ APIs generally follows these conventions: [endpoint]/[sub-endpoint]/[module] [endpoint]/shared/[common functionality] The endpoint is /mgmt All BIG-IP traffic management modules are located under the sub-endpoint of /tm (which corresponds to traffic management). All BIG-IQ modules are located under the sub-endpoint /cm (which corresponds to central management). APIs and workers that may be common to both tm and cm are located under the sub-endpoint /shared. Sub-endpoint /forwarder /mgmt/shared/resolver/group s /mgmt/shared/authz/users /mgmt/shared/diagnostics /mgmt/shared/authz/roles /mgmt/shared/echo /mgmt/cm/firewall /mgmt/cm/cloud /mgmt/tm/ltm /mgmt/tm/gtm /mgmt/tm/asm /mgmt/tm/...

Chapter 2 Provider iapp template APIs What is an iapp template? What is a provider iapp template? Providers who want to make services available to their tenants need to construct provider iapp templates. The provider iapp templates are populated with custom configuration settings that, when applied to a specific BIG-IP iapp template, define a baseline level of performance to which a service must conform when deployed. Having these baseline levels of performance allows the provider to advertise different service levels to their tenants. An iapp is a BIG-IP system configuration template that makes it easy to configure a BIG-IP system for a specific application. In the BIG-IP user interface, an iapp appears as a set of questions that users need to answer. Internally, an iapp can be considered as a set of variables with values: answering a question corresponds to providing a value for a variable. A provider iapp template (often referred to as just a provider template) is an iapp template in which some or all of the iapp template variables have been filled in by the provider. When a tenant wants to deploy an application, he specifies only the parameters that the provider has not set. A provider iapp template simplifies the process of deploying an application for a tenant, and it also allows the provider to clearly specify different ways of deploying an application. Often this allows different levels of service. For example, a provider might create a provider template for a web (HTTP) server that configures the use of the BIG-IP system SSL termination so that tenants do not need to understand how it works but simply benefit from it. Or a provider could create multiple provider templates for different levels of service (that is, templates that permit different numbers of simultaneous connections). How does a provider make an iapp template? There are two ways to make a provider template. 2-8

Central Management APIs Figure 2.1 Provider template call flows The structure of a provider template Conceptually, making a provider template is straightforward: take an iapp template, set values for variables that tenants cannot edit, and you have a provider template. In practice it can be more complicated, because doing this correctly requires a deeper understanding of the underlying iapp template so that you can make the template correctly. There is a REST API (documented separately in the Provider Template Example API) that allows you to start with a working provider template and make any necessary changes to it. This is the recommended path for creating provider templates A provider template specifies several things The iapp template that it is based on. Every provider template is based on exactly one BIG-IP iapp template. A set of scalar variables. That is, variables with a single value. For example, the virtual IP is a scalar variable. A set of tables. For example, the set of pool members is a table. Each row in the table is a single pool member, and (depending on the underlying iapp template) describes things such as the IP address and port of the pool member. BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-9

Chapter 2 A (shortened) example of a provider template looks like this: "templatename": "HTTP-Bronze", "parentreference": "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/cm/cloud/templates/iapp/f5.http" "overrides": "vars": [ "name": "basic addr", "isrequired": true, "defaultvalue": "", "providertype": "NODE", "servertier": "Servers" "name": "basic port", "isrequired": true, "provider": "80", "providertype": "PORT", "servertier": "Servers" "tables": [ "name": "server_pools servers", "columns": [ "name": "addr", "isrequired": true, "defaultvalue": "", "providertype": "NODE" "name": "port", "isrequired": true, "provider": "80", "providertype": "PORT" "servertier": "Servers" ] "properties": [ "id": "cloudconnectorreference", "displayname": "Cloud Connector", "isrequired": true "id": "deviceimagereference", "displayname": "Device Image", "isrequired": false, "description": "When connector supports automatic deployment of Devices, Provider will use this property to indicate which Device image is appropriate to use for deployment of this iapp template. It is expected that reference will point to a Node TEMPLATE.", "provider": "https://localhost/mgmt/cm/connectors/ec2/guid1234-guid-1234-guid-1234guid1234/nodes/guid1234-guid-1234 -GUID-1234GUID1234" "tenanttemplatereference": "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/cm/cloud/tenant/templates/iapp/http-bronze" "isf5example": false, "generation": 1, "lastupdatemicros": 1365655623070047, "kind": "cm:cloud:provider:templates:iapp:provideriapptemplateworkerstate", "selflink": "https://localhost/mgmt/cm/cloud/provider/templates/iapp/http-bronze" An actual provider template would have many more variables and tables: this example is shortened for clarity. 2-10

Central Management APIs Tenant templates When you create a provider template, a tenant template is created for it. (That is, you do not need to create it.) A tenant template is a provider template that has had all of the provider variables removed. Tenant templates can be used to understand which parameters a tenant can specify when creating a tenant service. Variables "name": "variablename". "displayname": "name", "description": "description", "isrequired": booleanvalue, "defaultvalue": "somevalue", "provider": "somevalue", "providertype": "TYPE" # see below "servertier": "name" Explanation of variables A variable in the provider template has the following form: Field name displayname description isrequired defaultvalue provider providertype servertier The name of the variable. White space is not allowed. A human-readable version of the variable name (optional) A longer description of the purpose of the variable (optional) If true, then the value must be supplied when creating an iapp service, unless the provider specified a fixed value using the provider field or a default value. The default value that will be used for the field when a user creates an iapp service based on this template. Also a default value, but indicates that a tenant may not edit this value. If the value is NODE, then the variable or column is an IP address. If the value is PORT, then the variable or column is a port number. If the value is var, it indicates the virtual IP address for the given server tier. If the value is a table, it indicates a server pool for the given server tier. If the value is SSL_CERT, then variable is an SSL certificate path. If the value is SSL_KEY, then variable is an SSL certificate private key path. If specified for a variable, then the variable represents a virtual server interface. At least one virtual server interface must be specified or it is an error. If specified for a table, then the table represents a set of pool members. BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-11

Chapter 2 Properties The defaultvalue and provider are mutually-exclusive fields: only one can be specified. A variable is referred to as "tenant-editable" if the provider field is not set. A property in the provider template has the following form: "id": "name", "displayname": "Descriptive Name", "description": "Descriptive text about the property", "isrequired": booleanvalue, "value": "somevalue", "provider": "somevalue", Explanation of properties Field id The name of the property. White space is not allowed. displayname description A user-friendly name for the property. White space is allowed. Some longer text describing the purpose of the property. isrequired A boolean, true or false value provider If the tenant does not specify a value, this value will be used. Also a default value, but indicates that a tenant can not edit this value. The value and provider are mutually-exclusive fields: only one can be specified. You must specify a cloud property when creating a provider template, but it is okay to have no default value--this will be a tenant-editable property. 2-12

Chapter 2 Sample provider template APIs It can be challenging to create provider templates from scratch. To aid in creating provider templates, there is a worker that users can query in order to get sample provider templates. While you have the option of customizing them further, these samples can simply be posted to the sample provider template as-is to make a functioning provider template. Get example provider template for a corresponding iapp template This function returns an example provider template based on the underlying NAME iapp template. The name is the same as the name of one of the underlying templates. These names can be discovered by querying the BIG-IQ iapp Template Worker (/cm/cloud/templates/iapp). Note There is always an example named example. There may be other examples. You can get the complete list. Minimal modification needs to be done in order to post this as an actual provider template. You will need to edit two fields: templatename properties: A cloudconnectorreference needs to be provided Note This provider template does not exist until you edit it and POST it to the provider template API. This is merely an example of how to create a provider template.

Central Management APIs Tenant iapp templates APIs Tenants can access the template catalog by going to this API. It allows them to determine what configuration is necessary for each template. tenant_id = "soda2" as particular Tenant instance; customized_iapp_template_id = "Exchange-Gold" as particular customized (Provider-specific) iapp template instance; tenant_iapp_service_id = "my-exchange-gold-service" as particular running instance of Tenant service; The figure illustrates the call flow for creating a tenant template. Figure 2.2 Tenant template call flow Variables "name": "variablename". "isrequired": booleanvalue, "defaultvalue": "somevalue", "providertype": "TYPE" # see below "servertier": "name" A variable in the tenant template has the following form: BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-23

Chapter 2 Explanation of variables Field name isrequired defaultvalue providertype servertier The name of the variable. White space is not allowed. If true, then the value must be supplied when creating an iapp service, unless the provider specified a fixed value using the provider field or a default value. The default value that will be used for the field when a user creates an iapp service based on this template. If the value is NODE, then the variable or column is an IP address. If the value is PORT, then the variable or column is a port number. If the value is var, it indicates the virtual IP address for the given server tier. If the value is a table, it indicates a server pool for the given server tier. If specified for a variable, then the variable represents a virtual server interface. At least one virtual server interface must be specified or it is an error. If specified for a table, then the table represents a set of pool members. Properties Note The variables listed are the same as the ones in the corresponding provider templates, but without the provider variables. A property in the provider template has the following form: "id": "name", "displayname": "Descriptive Name", "description": "Descriptive text about the property", "isrequired": booleanvalue, "value": "somevalue", 2-24

Central Management APIs Explanation of properties Field id displayname description isrequired value The name of the property. White space is not allowed. A user-friendly name for the property. White space is allowed. Some longer text describing the purpose of the property. A boolean, true or false. If the tenant does not specify a value, this value will be used. Note that the variables listed are the same as the ones in the corresponding provider templates, but without the provider variables. Get all tenant iapp templates Gets all of the tenant iapp templates from the provider catalog. Note that tenants only see the parts of the template that the provider allowed. /mgmt/cm/cloud/tenant/templates/iapp GET N/A None BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-25

Chapter 2 Tenant APIs Providers advertise what services they make available to their customers. Customers who make use of the provider s services are known as tenants. Providers need a way to track customers who use their services. To do so, providers track them as tenants. Each tenant is identified using a name and a description. The name is used to refer to the tenant in a URI. The description is used to refer to the tenant in conversation. For example, a tenant can have the name soda2 and the description Soda 2 Tenant. 2-30

Central Management APIs Cloud connector APIs Types of cloud connectors Creating a cloud connector The cloud connector API allows you to create and manipulate cloud connectors. A cloud connector is an association with a specific cloud. Tenant services are targeted to a given cloud connector. Here are some examples. A local cloud connector allows you to describe a private cloud. An EC2 cloud connector allows you to describe a specific EC2 configuration. For example, you might have a set of virtual machines in the EC2 Oregon data center, and these would be described by a single cloud connector. A VMware cloud connector allows you to describe a specific VMware vshield configuration. There are four types of cloud connectors: local: for a private cloud ec2: for accessing Amazon's EC2 vmware: for accessing private clouds maintained by VMware vshield Manager openstack: for accessing OpenStack deployments The diagram details the call sequence for creating a cloud connector. Figure 2.3 Cloud connector call flow BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-63

Chapter 2 Deploying an application in the cloud The diagram details the call sequence for deploying an application in the cloud. Figure 2.4 Application deployment call flow Cloud connector description All clouds share a common description. Each cloud may have extra parameters unique to that type of cloud.

Chapter 2 EC2 cloud connectors APIs The EC2 cloud connector API allows you to create and manipulate EC2 cloud connectors. The BIG-IQ EC2 connector is designed to be a single network topology that contains one or more BIG-IP devices. In AWS terms, it is a single VPC completely contained inside a single Availability Zone that is inside a single EC2 Region. The VPC network topology is expected to have three types of subnets. Management - BIG-IP VE eth0 interface sits on this subnet. BIG-IQ Cloud only supports one management subnet. Tenant External - BIG-IP application virtual servers are provisioned on this subnet. The first subnet specified of this type is considered the external VLAN of the BIG-IP device. Subsequent subnets are labeled external1, external2, and so on. Tenant Internal - BIG-IQ manages BIG-IP devices across this subnet. BIG-IP LTM nodes are expected to appear on this subnet. The first subnet specified of this type is considered the internal VLAN of the BIG-IP device. Subsequent subnets are labeled internal1, internal2, and so on. 2-82

Chapter 2 Parameters for EC2 cloud connectors Name Required Value regionendpoint yes The EC2 region endpoint that BIG-IQ system will connect to. This represents a choice of the EC2 geography that is being utilized. See possible values at http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region awsaccesskeyid yes The AWS Access Key ID associated with AWS user account that BIG-IQ system will impersonate. EC2 uses this to authenticate source of requests sent to the EC2 endpoint. secretaccesskey yes The AWS Secret Access Key associated with AWS user account that BIG-IQ system will impersonate. EC2 uses this to authenticate source of requests sent to the EC2 endpoint. availabilityzone yes The EC2 availability zone that connector's resources are contained within. An availability zone is a compartment of resources inside a region. Example is us-west-2c. For more information, see http://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsec2/latest/userguide/using-regions-availabilit y-zones.html vpcid no The EC2 Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that connector's resources are contained within. A VPC is a network topology inside an availability zone. Example is vpc-6780750f. If none is specified then the BIG-IQ system will use the first VPC discovered in availability zone. autodeploydevices no Preference as to whether Devices will be auto-deployed when required to support tenant application deployment. If true, then tenantinternalnetworks and tenantexternalnetworks must be populated appropriately. Defaults to false. It is important that the owner of the AWS account create a less-privileged account that does not have access to the credit card used with the AWS account and use its credentials for the awsaccesskeyid and secretaccesskey. The less-privileged account permissions should be set up to so that it can be used to create, delete, or modify EC2 instances as well as perform any other activities related to creating, deleting, or modifying EC2 instances. 2-84

Central Management APIs VMware cloud connector APIs With the VMware cloud connector API, you can create and manipulate VMware cloud connectors. For more information about cloud connectors, see the cloud connector documentation. The VMware cloud connector API communicates directly with VMware vshield Manager version 5.1.1, or NSX version 6.0 or later. You can create tenant services within VMware after a VMware cloud connector has been created. You can use either the vshield service insertion interface or the NSX Edge Gateway Services to create the connector. Normally you specify the tenant in VMware when inserting a service profile. The vshield 5.1.1 has a user interface for this, but VMware NSX does not. When using NSX, give only one tenant access to a specific VMware connector, and BIG-IQ system then selects that tenant when it receives the service insertion request. You can also create tenant services using the vcloud Director interface for Edge Gateways. If you use vcloud Director, you still need vshield Manager. In this document, the term vshield, means vshield or vcloud or NSX.A VMware cloud connector is similar to other cloud connectors, except for the VMware-specific parameters. An example description is provided below: "displayname": "VMware vshieldmanager", "name": "Human-readable name of connector", "description": "A longer description of the connector", "devicereferences": [ "link": "https://172.27.2.2/mgmt/cm/cloud/managed-devices/4a0338b2-1974-876e-bbd3-48d0a68ca3c0" "tenantinternalnetworks": [ "subnetaddress": "10.10.0.0/24", "gatewayaddress": "10.10.0.1" "tenantexternalnetworks": [ "subnetaddress": "192.168.1.0/24", "gatewayaddress": "192.168.1.254" "managementnetworks": [ "subnetaddress": "172.27.0.0/16", "gatewayaddress": "172.27.22.254" "parameters": [ "id": "vshieldaddress", "value": "192.0.2.1" "id": "vshieldusername", "value": "username" "id": "vshieldpassword", "value": "passw0rd" "id": "bigiqcallbackuser", "value": "username" "id": "bigiqcallbackpassword", "value": "passw0rd" BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-105

Chapter 2 Cloud managed devices APIs These APIs add, delete, and view the list of managed devices. Devices are added and deleted in an asynchronous manner. Initial POSTs respond with a 202 ACCEPTED and the device state is set to PENDING. Eventually the device state changes to ACTIVE or POST_FAILED. DELETE is similar, and responds with 202 ACCEPTED if the device cannot be immediately deleted (state is changed to PENDING_DELETE). States Devices have a state field to indicate whether the device is ready for use or in some transitional state. State PENDING POST_FAILED ACTIVE PENDING_DELETE DELETED After the initial POST but before the device is ready for use; discovery task is in progress. Some error occurred during discovery, check error field for details. Device is ready for use. Device is currently being deleted and will be removed in the near future (set on delete or if you PATCH the device to the DELETED state). This state is only used when you do a you PATCH to delete a device or when you publish to subscribers when the device is finally deleted; it is never persisted. 2-114

Central Management APIs Deleting the Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs) (Also referred to as NICs) when instances are terminated. Problem: Previously, when we terminate the instance, its ENIs are not deleted. There is a limited number of ENIs allowed. We create and assign the ENIs when an instance is created. Approach: 1. Deletes the ENIs when the instance is deleted. When an instance is deleted, we get a callback. We tried deleting the ENI here but we get an "in-use" error. This is because the instance goes through various state transitions and the ENI is still being in-use. We cannot detach the ENI here because the attachment ID is gone. 2. Mark the delete-on-termination flag in the ENI object during instance creation. We ran into specific issues: a. Set delete-on-termination when RunInstances creates ENIS: this works fine but creates problems with Elastic IP addresses b. Set delete-on-termination when RunInstances attaches existing ENIs: this is not supported by EC2 c. Set delete-on-termination after create ENIS but before calling RunInstances: is not supported since there is no attachment ID 3. Mark delete-on-termination right before TerminateInstances. This approach works. When terminateinstances() is called, BIG-IQ Cloud: a. Retrieves the list of NICs for the specified list of instances b. Marks delete-on-termination flag on each NIC c. Continues with terminating the instance Testing: To verify the NICs are actually deleted, we need to verify on EC2 the NICS are deleted. F5 wrote an EC2 test worker that allows the EC2 integration to call AWS indirectly to get a list of NICs. At the end of the integration test, we make this call and verify that there are no NICs in an "available" state, that is, left hanging around.

Central Management APIs OpenStack nodes APIs Node properties Use these APIs to get, create, or delete OpenStack nodes. A node contains a set of parameters as part of its complete specification. Creating a node requires three parameters. Name NodeName The human-readable name for your node. Not necessarily unique. Flavor The name or ID (from OpenStack) of the flavor to create this node. ImageId The name or ID (from OpenStack) of the image to create this node. The following example illustrates a complete node specification. "properties":[ "id":"nodename", "value":"web-server" "id":"flavor", "value":"m1.small" "id":"imageid", "value":"ubuntu-12.02.web" ] You may see other properties on nodes when you examine them. They include: Additional properties Name NodeTemplateName BIG-IP For a node template, which corresponds to an OpenStack image. This is the name of the image. If this is present and is true, it is a node or node template BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 2-137

Chapter 3 Group resolver APIs The goals of the REST Group resolver are to serve as: an abstraction for collections of REST endpoints a way to group REST endpoints using a hierarchical name and a collection of opaque tags an event model for discovering membership changes in a group A group name is a semi opaque identifier following the URI path convention. A group name must be a valid URI path. An absolute REST URI can only appear once per group, but can exist under multiple group names. To simplify enumeration and naming, group names should re-use the components of worker public URI paths. Each group can have an associated locality, specified as a query parameter when requesting groups and available in the group entry PODO. The Group name scheme is: <URI path segments>/locality where: uri path - URI path segments either shared by REST resources in the group, or specific to the group name locality - an optional opaque name (or tag) for a network locality. All resources within a locality can directly address each other using absolute URIs Note The public URI naming scheme enforces a top level path that indicates whether the group or worker is ADC- or BIG-IQ system-specific. If the worker is ADC-specific, the top level path is /cm. If the worker is BIG-IQ system-specific, the top level path is /tm. Get resolver groups Returns list of groups. /shared/resolver/groups GET N/A "items":["groupname":"/mgmt/cm/cloud/devices/templates","references":["link":"https://localh ost/mgmt/cm/cloud/devices/templates/iapp"] "generation": 1, "lastupdatemicros": 1356987935471319 HTTP/1.1 202 ACCEPTED 3-42

Chapter 3 Remove a group of resources Removes the group of resources. /shared/authz/roles/resource-groups/[uuid] DELETE N/A Request Body Licensing activation APIs These APIs are used to activate F5 licenses by interacting with the F5 license activation server. It can also install the activated license on the local device. There are two work flows for the licensing activation API; one for automatic activation and the other for manual activation. In this context, automatic refers to scenarios in which the BIG-IQ system has Internet access to the F5 license activation server. The manual workflow relies on less direct access (a thumb drive, for example). 3-88

Shared APIs Automatic activation The API workflow for automatic activation uses the following sequence. 1. Post an automatic base key and add-on keys (or if using as a proxy, post the base key and a dossier). 2. Check for automatic activation status and get EULA. 3. Post EULA text. 4. Check for automatic activation status and get license. 5. Install license. Note When you use the automatic method to re-activate a license, you do not perform steps 2 or 3. Post an automatic base key and add-on keys Data Parameters This is the first step in requesting an automatic license request. The first time you send this verb and data parameter combination, you either get a EULA to acknowledge, or an error. /tm/shared/licensing/activation POST "baseregkey" : "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXX", "addonkeys" : [ "XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX", "YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYY" "isautomaticactivation": "true" OR "baseregkey" : "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXX", "dossier" : "<DOSSIER_TEXT_FROM_MANAGED_DEVICE>", "isautomaticactivation": "true" Request Body Response 1: HTTP/1.1 200 OK "status" : "LICENSING_ACTIVATION_IN_PROGRESS" BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 3-89

Chapter 3 This call returns the EULA if the EULA needs to be accepted before licensing. License /tm/shared/licensing/registration Check for automatic activation status and get EULA Checks for the status of an automatic activation request. If you have not yet posted the EULA acceptance, you will get the EULA acceptance text. /tm/shared/licensing/activation GET Data Parameters Request Body 3-90

Shared APIs Response 1: HTTP/1.1 200 OK "status" : "LICENSING_ACTIVATION_IN_PROGRESS", --------------------------------------------------- Response 2: HTTP/1.1 200 OK "status" : "LICENSING_COMPLETE", "licensetext" : "<LICENSE_TEXT>" --------------------------------------------------- Response 3: HTTP/1.1 200 OK "status" : "LICENSING_FAILED", "errortext":"..." --------------------------------------------------- Response 4: HTTP/1.1 200 OK "status" : "NEED_EULA_ACCEPT", "eulatext" : "<EULA_TEXT>" This call returns the EULA if the EULA needs to be accepted before licensing. License /tm/shared/licensing/registration BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 3-91

Chapter 3 Post EULA text Once you receive the EULA text to acknowledge, include the text in the data parameter to trigger the license activation. This sends acceptance of the EULA that was returned in response to the activation request. /tm/shared/licensing/activation POST "baseregkey" : "XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXX", "addonkeys" : [ "XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX", "YYYYYYYY-YYYYYYY" "eulatext" : "<EULA_TEXT>", "isautomaticactivation": "true" Request Body HTTP/1.1 200 OK "status" : "LICENSING_ACTIVATION_IN_PROGRESS" Check for automatic activation status and get license After you have accepted the EULA, request activation status and get a license. /tm/shared/licensing/activation POST Request Body 3-92

Chapter 3 Delete a registration key record Deletes a key. /cm/shared/licensing/registrations/id DELETE HTTP/1.1 200 OK Licensing pools APIs The licensing pool APIs are used to manage pools licenses. These APIs can be used to add, delete, and update license pool keys, and activate, update, or deactivate licenses for devices and groups of devices. There is an automatic method and a manual activation method. The automatic method requires the ability to contact the F5 licensing server. There are four steps in this process, Steps 1 and 4 are the same for both methods. Create a license pool Creates a license pool, this is the first step in the sequence. /cm/shared/licensing/pools POST N/A "name" : "pool name", "baseregkey" : "ABC-XYZ", "addonkeys":["def-uvw" method:"automatic" 3-102

Shared APIs HTTP/1.1 201 Created "name" : "pool name", "baseregkey" : "ABC-XYZ", "addonkeys":["def-uvw" method:"automatic", "uuid":"123", "selflink":"https://localhost/mgmt/cm/shared/licensing/pools/123" addonkeys is optional, method field can be AUTOMATIC or MANUAL, defaults to AUTOMATIC. Get the EULA (automatic method) This is step two when you use the automatic method. Gets the EULA, so it can be accepted. /cm/shared/licensing/pools/<uuid> GET N/A N/A HTTP/1.1 201 Created "name" : "pool name", "baseregkey" : "ABC-XYZ", "addonkeys":["def-uvw" "method":"automatic", "eulatext":"...", "uuid":"123", "selflink":"https://localhost/mgmt/cm/shared/licensing/pools/123" The EULA might not appear immediately, but you can poll or subscribe for changes. BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 3-103

Chapter 3 Get the dossier (manual method) This is step two when you use the manual method. Gets the dossier. /cm/shared/licensing/pools/<uuid> GET N/A N/A HTTP/1.1 201 Created "name" : "pool name", "baseregkey" : "ABC-XYZ", "addonkeys":["def-uvw" "method":"manual", "dossier":"...", "uuid":"123", "selflink":"https://localhost/mgmt/cm/shared/licensing/pools/123" The dossier might not appear immediately, but you can poll or subscribe for changes. Submit the dossier through the normal manual license activation method at activate.f5.com. 3-104

Shared APIs Accept the EULA (automatic method) This is step three when you use the automatic method. Agree to the EULA, proceed with the licensing activation. /cm/shared/licensing/pools/<uuid> PATCH N/A "eulatext": "...", "state":"accepted_eula" HTTP/1.1 201 Created The eulatext must match the text provided by the worker in the previous step. If a EULA has been previously accepted for this license, you might not need to accept the EULA. BIG-IQ API Reference Guide 3-105

Chapter 3 Patch the license text (manual method) This is step three in the manual activation sequence. Copy the license text from activate.f5.com and submit it here. /cm/shared/licensing/pools/<uuid> PATCH N/A "licensetext": "..." HTTP/1.1 200 Accepted The licensetext must match exactly what is provided from activate.f5.com, if an inaccurate licensetext is given, pool device activations might fail. Poll to check the status of the pool license with a GET (described above) to verify that the pool is LICENSED. 3-106

Shared APIs Activate a device This is step four in both activation sequences. Adds a device to the license pool and activates it. /cm/shared/licensing/pools/<uuid>/members POST N/A "devicereference":"link":"https://localhost/mgmt/..."
