    Yes, previously you need to have installed a perl interpreter.

    REF - https://learn.perl.org/installing/

    After that, you need to export the netscaler configuration to a text file.

    Then you can run the script using the netscaler text file like this.

    # perl nsv8_to_f5.pl netscalerconfigfile /var/tmp/bigipoutputfile

    This is a pretty old script, but that's the only resource related in the community. I would try it before exploring other possibilities.

    KR,

    Dario.

    You can run the script in one machine with perl interpreter (see previous comment) or use F5 device (which already has perl installed). Of course, using CLI.

    ​

    Regarding the versions, i'm not the developer and I cannot confirm this.

    ​

    This only a text parser, you are not executing anything. You can try it without problem.

    ​

    BTW, if my answer was helpful, I would appreciate if you mark mark my answer as "the best" or give me some upvote.

    KR,

    Dario.
