Are you trying to save a ucs archive first? The command you listed will write the configuration running in memory to disk (ie - to the bigip.conf and other files) but will not make a ucs archive file. You would want to use the "save /sys ucs "

 

To see information about the interfaces, use "show /net interface".

 

By the way, if you don't know many command line commands, you don't really need them. You can just as easily do all these tasks from the web interface, and almost everyone does. In the interface, you can take an archive (and then download it) from System -> Archives. You can see interface status under Network -> Interfaces. You can upgrade the software itself most easily by going to System -> Software Management. I would highly recommend you use the web interface to do your upgrade unless you are really comfortable with TMSH on the command line and have used it extensively.

 

Hope that helps.
