Emulator for powershell?

Hi!

 

 

I am new to F5 and want to try out scripting F5 via PowerShell. I want to be safe and therefore was wondering if there is a software emulator that I could play around with before actually trying anything on the actual F5 switches.

 

 

If there is one, I'd love to try it out. I wasn't able to find anything on the site at least by searching!

 

 

Thanks

    You'll want to check out the BIG-IP LTM Virtual Edition.

    You can get access to the trial software at https://www.f5.com/trial/

     

     

    It's a version of BIG-IP that runs under VMWare ESX or Workstation.
