  • Hi,

     

    Works like a charm! One question, how to pass different Address List (instead of fixed White_List) name as argument?

  • Just improving your script...

    !/bin/bash
    while read p
    do
        tmsh modify /security firewall address-list $1 add { $p }
    done < $2
    
    ./script_name "White_List" "address_list.txt"
    
  • This doesn't work for me. I get an issue with bash placing the curly braces on the next line. I had take a different approach.

    I put the following in the IP list file for each IP you want in the list:

    modify security firewall address-list WhiteList addresses add {x.x.x.x}
    

    Then I ran the following:

    tmsh < whitelist.txt
