Command to take member out of pool NOT delete

I am trying to learn TMSH and I have the reference guide but I am not able to do what I want. I want to take a member out of the pool so it no longer takes on connections, (not delete it). I believe it's the state commmand but I am doing somthing wrong. This is the closest I can come but of course I am missing something. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also, examples of TMSH commands for common tasks would also be apprecited.

modify ltm pool pool_example members modify { 10.43.1.2:http } state down
