F5 Python SDK Documentation¶
Introduction¶
This project implements an object model based SDK for the F5 Networks BIG-IP iControl REST interface. Users of this library can create, edit, update, and delete configuration objects on a BIG-IP device. For more information on the basic principals that the SDK uses see the User Guide.
Quick Start¶
Installation¶
$> pip install f5-sdk
Note
If you are using a pre-release version you must use the --pre
option with the pip command.
Basic Example¶
from f5.bigip import BigIP
# Connect to the BigIP
bigip = BigIP("bigip.example.com", "admin", "somepassword")
# Get a list of all pools on the BigIP and print their name and their
# members' name
pools = bigip.ltm.pools.get_collection()
for pool in pools:
print pool.name
for member in pool.members_s.get_collection():
print member.name
# Create a new pool on the BigIP
mypool = bigip.ltm.pools.pool.create(name='mypool', partition='Common')
# Load an existing pool and update its description
pool_a = bigip.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='mypool', partition='Common')
pool_a.description = "New description"
pool_a.update()
# Delete a pool if it exists
if bigip.ltm.pools.pool.exists(name='mypool', partition='Common'):
pool_b = bigip.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='mypool', partition='Common')
pool_b.delete()
