Dynamic reconfiguration of BIG-IP

Hi,

 

 

I am trying to configure the BIG-IP system to work with GlassFish application server. I have gone through the basic configuration process. But what we are trying to do is to be able to write some integration code that will enable us to dynamically change BIG-IPs configuration whenever a new instance is added to the application server cluster or removed permanently from it. Does BIG-IP have a way to dynamically update its configuration programmatically ? Is there a way of doing this through SNMP traps or otherwise? Pls let me know.

 

 

Thx,

  • Satish: This sounds like a job for iControl, the SOAP-based API for BigIP. You can find tons of information on iControl here at DevCentral:

    Samples => http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iControl.CodeShare

     

     

    Good luck!
