The Agent Configuration File – /etc/neutron/services/f5/f5-openstack-agent.ini – provides the mechanism for identifying your BIG-IP® device(s) to F5 LBaaSv2 and allowing the agent to discover and configure BIG-IP network (/net) and Local Traffic Manager® (/ltm) objects.
Use your text editor of choice to edit the Agent Configuration File as appropriate for your environment.
Example:
$ sudo vi /etc/neutron/services/f5/f5-openstack-agent.ini
Once you have configured the F5 agent as appropriate for your environment, use the command(s) appropriate for your OS to start the agent.
CentOS
$ sudo systemctl enable f5-openstack-agent
$ sudo systemctl start f5-openstack-agent
Ubuntu
$ sudo service f5-oslbaasv2-agent start
If you need to stop the F5 agent, run the command appropriate for your OS.
CentOS
$ sudo systemctl stop f5-openstack-agent.service
Ubuntu
$ sudo service f5-oslbaasv2-agent stop
