Run commands remotely on a BIG-IP load balancer????

I came across this post, and I am in a similar situation in which I am looking into finding the best possible way to manage a BigIP LTM system from a remote location (e.g.: Add/Remove Pool Members). Here is what I am trying to figure out -

 

 

a.Is it possible to remotely manage the Big-IP LTM system pair (active/standby for example ) CLI interface from a remote server (e.g.: Linux or Solaris for this matter)?

 

b.If yes, what could be our options to allow management (e.g.: execute F5 sample CLI commands) from a remote server? Does F5 recommend any option over another taking in consideration advantages/disadvantages?

 

i.e.g.: Allow client to add or remove itself from load balancer pool via command issues from a remote server’s CLI -
