It does not. I am using the same code from the TogglePoolMember, but instead of passing a STATE_DISABLED I am passing DOWN and that is not working. Drilling through the API links I end up at http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iControl/Common__EnabledState.html and that leads me to believe that the only states you can set via the API is STATE_DISABLED or STATE_ENABLED.

 

 

Thanks for the reply! If this iControl stuff is this hard/convoluted for a non programmer to use, then I may just use ssh to run the bigpipe commands remotely. I would love to learn it, but I see more tutorials for .NOT and java than perl.
