powershell access to f5

Powershell uses the iControl REST framework. Please see here:

and here:

You can limit a request to a specific administrative partition using the $filter query parameter in a GET request. From the 11.6.0 iControl Rest users guide:

 

To access an administrative partition, use the $filter query parameter in a GET request to specify a resource in a partition. 1. Access a partition other than Common, using the $filter query option at the end of the URI. 2. Encode the URI by creating the following string: ?$filter=partition%20eq%20fw_objs

 

You didn't specify which library you were using. In addition to the PowerShell codeshare entry for REST, There is also the PowerShell Cmdlets for iControl SOAP which covers 100% of the SOAP APIs. If you are going that route, I wrote this article (https://devcentral.f5.com/articles/icontrol-101-24-folders) a while back illustrating how to use the Folder APIs to navigate through different locations. It should give you everything you need for our SOAP interface.

 

Hope this helps...
