NimbostratusRESTful API Support for Retrieving Network Related Information in LTM Release 11.1 and above
Are RESTful APIs supported in release 11.1 and above for retrieving network related information from BIG-IP LTM, such as VLANs, interfaces, selfIP info, etc.
The following is the list of APIs that I can retrieve from the AWS BIG-IP LTM virtual edition. I couldn't find anything that can help to get network related info.

Hi,
In 11.5 we released a full iControl-REST implementation in addition to the original iControl API. There was a pre-release available in 11.4 if you manually enabled the icrd daemon.
For 9.x - 11.3.x, iControl is only supported with SOAP over XML.

cantalise2485_1Hi, Aaron,
Thank you for the response. I am using version 14.1 on AWS Virtual Edition. Could I download 15 and use my existing LTM license? I am a newbie and just started working on LTM product:(
Here is my current sys license info: root@(ip-10-0-0-243)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) show sys version
Sys::Version Main Package Product BIG-IP Version 11.4.1 Build 635.14 Edition Engineering Hotfix HF2 Date Mon Jan 13 15:11:08 PST 2014
- That "show sys version" output won't tell us if you can or cannot upgrade. In most cases you can. The easiest path would be to enable icrd as Aaron described, or upgrade in place the existing instance to 11.5.0 using an ISO from downloads.f5.com.
