I use the PowerShell below that is used in conjunction with the iControlSnapIn. I just pass the IP for the F5, the user and the password in the command line. You could also pass the IP of the node and the port to take offline, but in my case it is static.

To re-enable a node set state to Enabled. Valid states are Enabled, Disabled, and Offline.

~~Command line~~

~~C:\Program Files\F5 Networks\iControlSnapIn>powershell -command .\SwsCXPOffline.ps1 F5 Usr Pw~~

~~param (~~

~~$bigip = $null,~~

~~$user = $null,~~

~~$pass = $null~~

);

~~Add-PSSnapIn iControlSnapIn~~

~~Initialize-F5.iControl -Hostname $bigip -Username $user -Password $pass~~

~~Set-F5.LTMPoolMemberState -Pool ClientEXP -Member IP:Port -State offline~~
