Cirrostratusirule ports
Good day all, I had few doubts for ltm. 1) is a service with all ports allowed but an irule with limited ports secure? will the irule come into picture for the ports first? 2) any easy way to...
Hello ,
- Yes, it is secure. But there are other options too. Please read this devcentral article by : Three Ways to Specify Multiple Ports on a Virtual Server
- There is the mv command, it renames or moves a TMOS configuration object. I never tested it... Please see https://clouddocs.f5.com/cli/tmsh-reference/v15/commands/mv.html

CirrocumulusHello,
I'm not going to answer your 1st question - I really don't understand what you mean by it.
For the 2nd - renaming a VS is not a straightforward thing to do - you have probably noticed that many configuration objects cannot be renamed from the GUI after you create them. But you can edit the configuration file directly and load it.
- login via ssh; if not already there go to the standard linux shell (not tmsh)
- if necessary, cd to /config/
- make a backup copy of bigip.conf
- edit bigip.conf with vi
- search for your VS - it will be a line with "ltm virtual <vs name>"
- rename it, be careful to not use repeated names and don't change line spacing, { } characters, etc
- save the file, exit vi
- execute "tmsh sys load config"

Please don't do this. You might end up having a corrupt bigip.conf.

Heh... never claimed it was safe, that's why step 3 is there.
But indeed, the file could have been corrupt to begin with. Make it step 2.5 to execute "tmsh load sys config verify". That way you can be sure the initial files are ok.
