I'd also add that while we do have methods to save the bigip.conf and bigip_base.conf (ConfigSync::save_configuration), and to transfer these configuration files (ConfigSync::download/upload_file), we don't have a method to actually load these configuration files individually, yet. :-(

 

 

We've added a new method (ConfigSync::load_configuration) to do just that in the next release, 9.2.0 (or whatever it'll be called).

 

 

For now, you'll have to save the configuration as an UCS archive using ConfigSync::save_configuration (SAVE_FULL), transfer the files using ConfigSync::download/upload_configuration, and then call ConfigSync::install_configuration to do this.
