Easy way to enter hundred of redirects

Which is the easy way to enter hundreds of redirects into BigIP without entering line by line ? can we upload a file ?

 

Thanks

 

  • Yes.

     

    On the Main tab, click System > File Management > iFile List > Import

     

    That will provide it as an iFile, but you haven't provided any use case once the file is uploaded so iFile might not be what you're after.

      I created a Data Group List and I can see I have the option to import a file. Do you know what format the file should have or is there an example somewhere ?

       

      Thanks

      It can have any format, but if you want to use it in an iRule (to compare one path and redirect to another) I think you'd be better served formatting it like a datagroup and copying it into your bigip.conf.
