Thanks Alex!

If you could guide me in both the scenarios, that would be a great help

Please note, I'm new to F5 but since I'm part of automation team would like to assist my team to automate these manual steps we follow right now.

Current process that we follow:

  1. Just before outage 
  2. From F5 Console, Identify the current iRule configured, make a note
  3. We update the iRule with outage page related rule.
  4. Once implementation is over
  5. Update iRule back with Step2 rules.

Intended automation

  1. Automation script should get the LB name as an argument
  2. Perform above current process steps 2 and 3
  3. Once implementation is over
  4. Will rollback the change

Thanks in advance
