BIG-IP : iControl : Management::Device::get_configsync_address

F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi

 

What exactly is a configsync ip address ? Does sending a request to this ip cause a device-group config-sync to occur ?

 

The docs offer only a very basic explanation :

 

"Gets the configsync IP address "

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Management__Device__get_configsync_address.ashx

 

  • The iControl documentation isn't going to explain BIG-IP features that aren't features of iControl itself.

     

    The config sync address is the IP address your BIG-IP will use to send and receive config sync related messages. That's a BIG-IP feature not specifically related to iControl,
