tmsh create node with name

This should work:

 

 

create node 10.10.10.1 { screen test }

 

 

Yields via "list node 10.10.10.1"

 

 

ltm node 10.10.10.1 {

 

screen test

 

}

 

 

The question from myself is: Can all of that be pasted in multiline format like we could do with bp shell, similarly to how it actually shows up in the show running-config output and my list output above?

Thanks, but that gives an error when I try it:

 

 

root@myltm(Active)(tmos) create node 10.10.10.1 { screen test }

 

Syntax Error: "node" unexpected argument

 

 

Also shouldn't it be "create ltm node ..." ?

 

My example was assuming you were already in tmos.ltm. Here are both examples:

 

 

[root@BIGIP-LAB:Active] config tmsh

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos) ltm

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos.ltm) create node 10.10.10.1 { screen test }

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos.ltm) list node 10.10.10.1

 

ltm node 10.10.10.1 {

 

screen test

 

}

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos.ltm)

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos.ltm) ex

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos) create ltm node 10.10.10.2 { screen test2 }

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos) list ltm node 10.10.10.2

 

ltm node 10.10.10.2 {

 

screen test2

 

}

 

root@BIGIP-LAB(Active)(tmos)

 

 

 

 

My original question remains, although it looks more likely F5 gave up that functionality in their transition to tmsh from bp shell. It is a shame all their documentation is incorrect. http://support.f5.com/content/kb/en..._Guide.pdf

 

 

 

OK that works - thanks for your help!

I have the same issue as dshinnick.

 

 

Can an F5 veteran chime in? Not being able to do it in a multiline format like below is a feature that us bigpipe aficionados want/need

 

 

create ltm virtual foobarVIP '{

 

destination 1.2.3.4:http

 

ip-protocol tcp

 

mask 255.255.255.255

 

pool myservers

 

profiles {

 

http { }

 

tcp { }

 

}

 

rules {

 

myrules

 

}

 

snat automap

 

}'

 

i think tmsh cannot support multiple lines format. for your case, you can try using single line like this:

 

 

create ltm virtual foobar { destination 1.2.3.4:80 ip-protocol tcp mask 255.255.255.255 pool myservers profiles add { http {} tcp {} } snat automap }

 

 

in v11 you can 'load sys config from-terminal merge', paste in your config, and ^D to escape out.

 

 

Now if only there was a non-tcl way to see summarized pool status, similar to 'b pool foo show'...'show ltm pool foo members' yields too much output with all the stats and isnt very grep'able

 

 

 

*grumble*

 

This did not work for me. Is this solution specific to the 10.x versions of F5 load balancers. I tried this with the nodes eg. from the tmsh prompt

 

 

create ltm node 2.2.2.2 {TESTNODE2}

 

this gave me an error

 

(/Common)(tmos) create ltm node /Common/2.2.2.2 TEST2NODE

 

01020059:3: IP Address :: is invalid, must not be all zeros.

It works fine from the web config utility

how to create a node using tmsh, the solution given in the site is not working and giving an error.

 

 

"tmsh create ltm node { } " does not work either from the command mode or tmsh mode
