Any clues on how to use api of f5 to create and delete virtual server ?

Hello Kiran,

You can use TMSH command to create/delete VS, pool, nodes and other objects...

Create a Pool: tmsh create ltm pool "pool-name" monitor "monitor-name" load-balancing-mode "load-balancing-method-name" members add { "pool-member-name1":port { address "x.x.x.x" } "pool-member-name2":port { address "x.x.x.x" } }

Create a VS: tmsh create ltm virtual "vs-name" { destination "x.x.x.x:port" pool "pool-name" persist replace-all-with { "persistence-profile-name" } fallback-persistence none rules { "irule-name1" "irule-name2"} vlans-enabled vlans replace-all-with { "vlan-name" } profiles add { "profile-name1" "profile-name2" } snat automap }

Delete a Pool: tmsh delete ltm pool "pool-name"

Delete a VS: tmsh delete ltm virtual "vs-name"

N.B: You cannot delete an object if it is already referenced in an another object, you must first remove it from that object.

You can use the "modify" command to modify an existing object.

For more info about the tmsh command you have all the command :

If you have developpment skills in python, perl, java, php or .net and you want to use REST or SOAP APIs you can use iControl
