Update or modify iRules using command line or bash scripts

I'm new to iRules and F5 technologies -

 

I needed to update/modify several (100s) iRules on multiple F5s. It's like find and replace specific text on iRules.

 

What is the best way to approach this change? I found a way to export each and every iRules to files and replace specific text as well. Is there a command line utility to update the iRule using from file or any other way?

 

Any suggestions are appreciated.

    Hi kvnsk,

    • Backup bigip.conf file in command line.
    cp /config/bigip.conf /config/bigip.conf.BAK
    • Download /config/bigip.conf to your pc.
    • Open bigip.conf file via text editor.
    • Use "find and replace" tool.
    • Upload bigip.conf file to /config folder.
    • Verify config.
    tmsh load sys config verify
    • If no error, load config.
    tmsh load sys config
