adding an FQDN node to an existing pool using icontrol or Rest API

Create an FQDN node before adding it to the pool. For example, to create an FQDN node 

www.f5.com
(name) pointing to 
www.f5.com
(actual FQDN) with the 
autopopulate
endabled:

curl -sku : https:///mgmt/tm/ltm/node \
  -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"www.f5.com", "fqdn":{"tmName":"www.f5.com", "autopopulate":"enabled"}}'

Then, add the node to the pool (here 

pl
) just like any other node members:

curl -sku : https:///mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/pl/members \
  -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"www.f5.com:80"}'
