Thank you - I wouldn’t have guessed under “mgmt” module.

 

Regarding second question, “Is F5 becoming less committed about CLI parity or is this ASM-specific limitation?” - is there parity between TMSH and TMUI?

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.
