We usually build the configs using tmsh commands in notepad and paste them in. You could do the same building the nodes, pools and then the vips with tmsh to notepad then cut and paste

    Thanks for the responses, i want to avoid doing cut and paste on the device. Is it possible to paste the VIPs into /config file and then load and merge the same into the current configuration.I believe this will reduce the length of time. Please let me know. genseek
