Hi, what about a copy / paste method? You could create a flat file and then just use the "merge" option to load it. You'll have to change the name for each "net route" declaration:

vi /config/this

net route /Common/route_one {
    interface /Common/internal
    network 10.10.10.0/32
}
net route /Common/route_two {
    interface /Common/internal
    network 11.10.10.0/32
}
net route /Common/route_three {
    interface /Common/internal
    network 12.10.10.0/32
}

tmsh load sys config merge file /config/this

tmsh save sys config

One benefit, is you could create a UCS file prior to the work and if anything doesn't go quite a planned, just load the UCS and get the BIG-IP back to where it was prior to adding the new routes.
