Download the f5optics package You can download the f5optics package from F5 to install updates to F5-branded transceiver modules. 1. Log in to downloads.f5.com and click Find a Download. 2. In the Hardware-Specific area, click Platform / EUD. 3. Select f5optics from the list. 4. Click the file name f5optics-<version-and-build-number>.im to start the download. 5. Download the corresponding checksum file and README file. 16

F5 Platforms: Accessories The corresponding checksum file has the same name as the IM file, except that.md5 is the file extension. After the download completes, verify the integrity of the file by checking the MD5 checksum. Install transceiver module updates using the f5optics package You can use tmsh to install updates to F5-branded transceiver modules using the f5optics package. Important: When you run the f5optics installation process, this disrupts traffic on the system on which the installation is performed. During the installation process, you are prompted to confirm that you are aware of this action before the installation can proceed. 1. Connect to the system using the serial console or by opening an SSH session to the management IP address. 2. Use SCP to move the f5optics package to the /shared/f5optics/images directory on your F5 system. 3. Open the TMOS Shell (tmsh). tmsh 4. Change to the network module. net The system prompt updates with the module name: user@bigip01(active)(/common)(tmos.net)# 5. Install the f5optics package. install f5optics [ recovery ] [ slot [ <slot_number> all ] ] The slot option applies only to chassis-based systems. The recovery option enables you to recover from a corrupted f5optics installation by installing the latest version of the f5optics package that is currently available on the system. 6. When you are prompted to confirm the installation, type y. Are you sure? Y/N (Installing the f5optics will re-initialize network interfaces, causing a temporary traffic interruption) y About using the f5optics package with VIPRION B4450 blades When you add a VIPRION 4450 blade to an existing cluster, the new blade must be running a version of the f5optics package that is at least as recent as the version of the package that is running on the primary blade. Verify the f5optics version on a VIPRION blade You can use tmsh to verify the version of the f5optics package on your VIPRION blade and update it to a newer version, if needed. 1. Log in to the command line of the primary blade using an account with root access. 2. Verify the f5optics package version. tmsh show net f5optics 17

Networking Cables Active optical cables (AOCs) For platforms that support 40GbE ports, F5 provides active optical cable (AOC) options for connecting to QSFP+ ports on your F5 platform. AOCs already have the optical electronics connected, eliminating the connectors between the cable and the transceiver module. AOCs plug into standard optical module sockets and are less expensive than other optical solutions, because the manufacturer matches the electronics to the required length and type of cable. Furthermore, standards do not need to be met at every stage of the connection, so AOCs are more efficient. Figure 3: Example of an active optical cable (AOC) Note: All photos shown are examples. The appearance of your components or accessories might vary slightly. These active optical cables (AOCs) are supported for use with F5 40GbE products.
