F5 iControl Q's - Part 1: F5 iControl web based proxy?

I'm relatively new to icontrol and coding. I have basic scripting knowledge, I can write some decent iRules and batch scripts, but beyond that I've just been dabbling with perl, powershell, php, etc...

You do not need to use EM as an iControl proxy to consume the APIs. Both the SOAP and REST interfaces are available directly from the BIG IP systems themselves.

 

Enabling and Disabling objects is very straight forward.Just read thought the iControl Wikis on PHP.

 

Alternately you can use tools that already provide an intuitive UI and granular access like appviewx.com which can save you a lot of time.
