How to use the iControl API reference

I built the iControl .Net library (which the Powershell snapin is based) by moving the module+interface into a combined string for the interface name in the .Net lib. So, System.SystemInfo will turn into SystemSystemInfo. If you are using the Get-F5.iControl cmdlet to return the core iControl.Interfaces object, you can then iterate through that object and it will return a list of all the interface objects, which in turn contain all of the methods.

Here's a list of PowerShell based tech tips and code samples:

So, for an example, if you are looking at the SDK and want to get a list of VLANs in the Networking.VLAN interface with the VLAN.get_list() method, you would combine the Module and Interface and pull that object out from the Interfaces object. The get_list() method will be contained in that object.

$ic = Get-F5.iControl
$vlan = $ic.NetworkingVLAN;
$list = $vlan.get_list();

To get a list of all of the interfaces, just pass the Interfaces object through the Get-Command cmdlet.

$ic = Get-F5.iControl
$ic | Get-Command
....
