The rack rail mounting kit make rack installation much easier , just like mounting a server.
The entry-level BIG-IP 2000 series provides a high-performance ADC platform for organizations wanting to add integrated application delivery to their networks, with options for advanced security.

3. Configuring a management IP address
- using the LCD panel
You can use the LCD panel to configure the management IP address. The management IP address enables you to access the BIG-IP® Configuration utility to configure other aspects of the product, such as the product license, VLANs, and trunks. The options are located in the System menu.
Note: When using the LCD panel to configure the unit, be sure to use the Commit option to save all settings.
1. Press the X button to activate Menu mode for the LCD.
2. Press the Check button to select System.
3. To configure the management IP address using DHCP:
a) Press the Check button to select DHCP.
b) Press the Check button to select enabled.
4. To configure the management IP address manually:
a) Press the Check button to select Management.
b) Press the Check button to select Address Type, and then press the Check button again to select
either IPv4 or IPv6.
c) Use the arrow keys to select Mgmt IP and press the Check button.
d) Use the arrow keys to configure the management IP address.
e) Use the arrow keys to select Prefix Length and press the Check button.
f) Use the arrow keys to configure the length of the routing prefix for the IPv4 or IPv6 management
IP address.
g) Use the arrow keys to select Mgmt Gateway and press the Check button.
h) Use the arrow keys to configure the default route for the management interface.
5. Use the arrow keys to select Commit and press the Check button.
- Using TMSH Command
By default, Mgmt interface has been configured ip as 192.1681.245/24. We will change it to 10.94.200.31/24 from command line.

You can verify it through accessing https://10.94.200.34. Default username and password is admin / admin.
- Using Web GUI
Since default pre-configured ip is 192.168.1.245/24, you can change your machine to the same network 192.168.1.0/24 and access it through Web GUI. After log in , you can change it to the one you like:
You will have to change host name, root password, admin password as well before you can submit the change.
Other steps can be found from my previous post F5 Big-IP 2500 Appliance System Initial Configuration.
