CirrusASM Live Update TMSH commands
Being old-school, I've appreciated F5's option of allowing (LTM) configuration using either CLI (BPSH, TMSH) or GUI (Configuration Utility/TMUI). However, now, familiarising myself with ASM, K8251202...

I agree that sometimes it's a bit cumbersome to find tmsh or CLI commands for managing AdvWAF. Doesn't mean the commands are not there - just harder to find.
epaalxThank you - I wouldn’t have guessed under “mgmt” module.

Difficult to answer. There are a couple of AdvWAF tasks I would only know how to do them via tmsh or bash. Specifically tasks related to troubleshooting and maintenance.
There are other tasks I would only know how to do them via TMUI.
I think it is not about commitment to CLI. It is about AdvWAF being a different module than LTM and therefore the CLI is also different.
