Bulk add entries to Data Group List

3 spring to mind immediately... Undoubtedly there's more, but in order of (My personal) preference

1. You could write a script and add them via iControl (Remotely from anywhere with https access to the BigIP)
2. Write a script and add them via tmsh (Locally on BigIP)
3. Create the config by hand and load it using the merge option.

I favour the 1 script because when you have multiple clusters with the same DG across them, you can just point the script at multiple units and it's as easy as the first. Updates also become easy...

Thanks very much for your response. I don't have iControl. The tmsh option looks useful, not that I've used it before, but it's probably about time I did.

In the short term using the merge command might be my quickest option as this is an immediate requirement, and look at getting some tmsh experience for next time.

Note that with option 2 you could write as an external script that just calls tmsh, or a full blown TCL tmsh script that runs within tmsh itself...

Try this:

With address list like this (address-list.txt):

10.10.10.0/24
10.10.20.0/24
10.10.30.0/24
10.10.40.0/24
10.10.50.0/24
10.10.60.0/24
10.10.70.0/24
10.10.80.0/24
10.10.90.0/24

and a simple Bash script like this:

!/bin/bash

while read p
do
    tmsh modify / ltm data-group internal private_net_test records add { $p }
done < address-list.txt

Thanks Kevin, I've opted for merge or load this time as the verify option will satisfy CAB conditions, but might use that next time.
