CirrusHello,
Why not using a simple "address" Data-group ? you can then add 10.0.0.0/8 in the address field for example.
You can then use tmsh or iControl Rest API to update dynamically your data-group
Eddy_161863Thanks. I used 10.0.0.0 and 20.0.0.0 as an example. but originally it is a list of 100 IPs which I cannot summarize. I have to add them individually. Do you know the format for that?- Yann_Desmarestok no problem, just check this article from Jason Rahm : You will find the exact syntax for external data-groups https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/v11-irules-data-group-updates
- Eddy_161863thanks Yann. Below is what that article says about external IP data group. Do you know if I have to add this format to the external data group list I created? where will I add the IPs? External Data Group------------------------- ltm data-group external addr_testclass_ext { external-file-name addr_testclass.class type ip }
- Yann_DesmarestThe lines you paste from the article explain how the configuration of an external data-group looks like. You specify the type and the name of the file
- Yann_DesmarestFollow this chapter, it works for me : Create a New External Datagroup from the CLI Non-Interactively
