Import and export an address list

[Hamza]

Hello

I have AFM Big-ip uses an address list that is in the shred objects and I want to create address list entries in a text editor on my local machine and import them as a CSV file into BIG-IP to save time from doing a manual entry.

Note :  i don't have Big-IQ.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Hamza , 
This option isn’t available in shared objects. 

Maybe this Article helps you if you want to add Bulk of IPs :

@Hamza , 
I think there is no way for this , 
you will need Big-IQ as I saw in some articles.

Hi @Hamza ,

You can try using CLI, it will significantly reduce the time as compare to enter list thorugh GUI

Creating or modifying the address of a Network Firewall address list

1. Log in to the Traffic Management Shell (tmsh) by typing the following command:
   
   tmsh
2. To create a new Network Firewall address list and add an IP address with a netmask, use the following command syntax:
   
   create /security firewall address-list <new-address-list-name> addresses add { <network ip address>/<netmask> }
   
   For example, to create the Network Firewall address list XYZ and add the IP address range 192.168.0/24, type the following command:
   
   create /security firewall address-list XYZ addresses add { 192.168.0.0/24 }
   
   To add an IP address with a netmask to an existing Network Firewall address list, use the following command syntax:
   
   modify /security firewall address-list <existing-address-list-name> addresses add { <network ip address>/<netmask> }
   
   For example, to modify an existing Network Firewall address list XYZ and add the IP address range of 10.10/16, type the following command:
   
   modify /security firewall address-list XYZ addresses add { 10.10.0.0/16 }
   
   
3. Save the change by typing the following command:
   
   save /sys config

There is another way we do using 

load sys config from-terminal merge if you have all the lines that you need from your list command, let me knowif you really intereted to use this versatile comand i use to build the configuration at large scale.
