2.4.1. Lab – Puppet automation with f5_command¶

Following is a sample Puppet manifest file (site.pp) to run a TMSH command:

node bigip1 {

f5_command { '/Common/tmsh':
  tmsh  => "tmsh create ltm node 2.2.2.2",
}

}

Running the puppet device -v –user=root command will have the TMSH command apply to the F5 device.

$ sudo puppet device -v --user=root --trace
