Hello all, I am new to F5 and am a little confused on how to add a device to an F5 BIG-IP installation and what kind of devices can be added. I have two 11.5 machines and would like to add the second machine to the devices list of my first. Is this possible, or do I have to add a different device to it? It doesn't look like there is an option to add a device. My main goal is to get them into a group and then get them out of sync. I need to test something to get them back into sync. Here is the version number of the first machine BIG-IP 11.5.0 Build 0.0.221 Final Thank You300Views0likes2CommentsHow does one use the f5-sdk add-to-trust?
Have been trying to automate the adding of peer device using the add-to-trust described here: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/icontrolrest.apiref_tm_cm_add-to-trust.ashx Snippet of what I have tried to run with python: ManagementRoot('IP', 'admin', 'admin_password').tm.cm.add_to_trust.update(caDevice=True, name='Root', device='PEER_IP', deviceName='NAME_OF_PEER_BOX', username='admin', password='admin_password', command='run') The above seems to send a PUT instead of a POST (probably due to the usage of update() instead of create() which is not allowed for UnnamedResource?) Does anyone know how to force the use of a POST with add-to-trust (or the proper syntax of adding a device via the F5 python SDK)?268Views0likes1CommentBIG-IP : iControl : Management::Device::get_configsync_address
F5 BIG-IP Virtual Edition v11.4.1 (Build 635.0) LTM on ESXi What exactly is a configsync ip address ? Does sending a request to this ip cause a device-group config-sync to occur ? The docs offer only a very basic explanation : "Gets the configsync IP address " https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.Management__Device__get_configsync_address.ashx188Views0likes1Comment
