REST API calls to create a virtual server
Problem this snippet solves:
This is a list of curl commands using REST api calls to create a virtual server and other operations. Tested with BIGIP v.12.1.2.
How to use this snippet:
Firstly obtain an authentication token to be included in the curl statements.
curl -sk -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://hostname/mgmt/shared/authn/login -d '{"username": user,"password": password,"loginProviderName": "tmos"}'
Check response for the token.
Create pool with 2 members:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool -d '{"partition":"partition-name","name":"pool-name","members":[{"name":"server-name1:port1","address":"ip-address1"},{"name":"server-name2:port2","address":"ip-address2"}],"monitor":"monitor-name" }'
Create virtual server with existing pool:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual -d '{"partition":"partition-name","name": "vs-name", "destination":"vs-ip:vs-port","pool":"pool-name"}'
Add member to existing pool:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~partition-name~pool-name/members -d '{"partition":"partition-name","name":"server-name:port","address":"ip-address"}'
Disable pool member:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~partition-name~pool-name/members/server-ip:port -X PUT -d '{"session":"user-disabled"}'
Enable pool member
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~partition-name~pool-name/members/server-ip:port -X PUT -d '{"session":"user-enabled"}'
Force pool member offline:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~partition-name~pool-name/members/server-ip:port -X PUT -d '{"session":"user-disabled","state":"user-down"}'
Delete pool member from pool:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X DELETE https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~partition-name~pool-name/members/server-ip:port
Delete Virtual server:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X DELETE https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~partition-name~vs-name
Delete Pool:
curl -sk -H "X-F5-Auth-Token:token" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X DELETE https://hostname/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~partition-name~pool-name
