Issue Unix commands

How do we issue unix type commands while in the tmsh shell? We neeed to remove the mcpd.bin files so Big-IP recognizes new NICs on reboot. How do we "cd /var/db" and "rm /var/db/mcpd.bin"? Thanks!  ...

As long as you aren't using the "App Mode" license you can ssh into your F5 as the root user to get a "bash" shell. Once you log in you can navigate around the filesystem like you would on any other linux host.
