Documentation improvement

A deploy failed to set up the HA cluster because they had a firewall that did not allow ICMP, and the onborad.js script failed when it could not ping f5.com (104.219.111.168).

They were using this template: /supported/failover/across-net/via-api/2nic/existing-stack/byol

In the "Prerequisites and configuration notes" Section it states: ''' External subnet (the subnet for the external network requires a route and access to the Internet for onboarding BIG-IP). '''

It may help avoid this if we state the specific ports and protocols that need to be allowed. In this case the need to allow ICMP out.

Thank you for reporting this. This enhancement request to our documentation is now being tracked internally with ID ESECLDTPLT-1972.

Closing. These legacy templates are now in maintenance mode and are being replaced by our next-generation templates available in the Cloud Templates 2.0 GitHub repo.

Our documentation for V2 addresses this.
