powershell script to show connections

in Powershell if I use the command: (Get-F5.iControl).SystemConnections.get_list() i get the following output:

 

clientside_client clientside_server serverside_server protocol ----------------- ----------------- ----------------- -------- iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition PROTOCOL_TCP iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition PROTOCOL_ICMP iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition PROTOCOL_TCP iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition PROTOCOL_TCP iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition PROTOCOL_TCP

 

How can i get the actual IP addresses to be outputted. I want it simular to the tmsh command "show system connections"

    The iControl.CommonIPPortDefinition is an object which contains two members, address and port.

    To separate them you can do something like this:

    $Result = (Get-F5.iControl).SystemConnections.get_list()

$Result | ForEach-Object {
    ""
    "clientside_client:" + $_.clientside_client.address + " " + $_.clientside_client.port
    "clientside_server:" + $_.clientside_server.address + " " + $_.clientside_server.port
    "serverside_server:" + $_.serverside_server.address + " " + $_.serverside_server.port
    "Protocol:" + $_.Protocol

}

    Or if you want a semicolon separated list to insert in excel:

    $Result = (Get-F5.iControl).SystemConnections.get_list()

$ResultFile = ".\result.csv"

"clientside_client;clientside_server;serverside_server;protocol" | Out-File $ResultFile

$Result | ForEach-Object {

    $_.clientside_client.address + ":" + $_.clientside_client.port + ";" +`
    $_.clientside_server.address + ":" + $_.clientside_server.port + ";" +`
    $_.serverside_server.address + ":" + $_.serverside_server.port + ";" +`
    $_.Protocol | Out-File -Append $ResultFile

}
