change virtual server type with TMSH command?

Hi,

 

 

I would like to know how I can change the virtual server type using tmsh.

 

 

So if someone configures a virtual server as a 'standard' type, and I want to change it to 'performance (layer4)' How can I do this using TMSH?

 

 

I tried but can't really see where it is:

 

 

'modify ltm virtual vs-1.1.1.1 ??'

 

 

Cheers.

    tmsh does not directly expose a type field. tmui uses the type field to filter the profiles that are presented. tmsh is not a gui/browser and does not provide that type of filtering.

     

    If you are using tmsh, and you assign a fastl4 profile to the virtual, then the type of the virtual should automatically be changed to "performance (layer 4)".

    So basically there is no way to modify an existing standard virtual server to a performance (layer 4) virtual server using TMSH?

    Hi Luca,

    Mark was trying to say that the virtual server "type" is just a friendly name used in the GUI which doesn't actually exist in tmsh or the conifuration. If you have an HTTP VS with a couple of L7 options enabled, you can change it to a fastL4 using tmsh: 

    
 list ltm virtual my_http_vs
ltm virtual my_http_vs {
    destination 1.1.1.1:http
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    persist {
        cookie {
            default yes
        }
    }
    pool http_pool
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    vlans-disabled
}

 modify ltm virtual my_http_vs profiles replace-all-with { fastL4 } persist replace-all-with { source_addr }

 list ltm virtual my_http_vs
ltm virtual my_http_vs {
    destination 1.1.1.1:http
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    persist {
        source_addr {
            default yes
        }
    }
    pool http_pool
    profiles {
        fastL4 { }
    }
    vlans-disabled
}
