Directory path for Data Group List

Hi,

 

Can someone advise where can I find the directory path for Data Group List if I need to SCP the list to another F5 device?

 

THanks!

  • Hi ERLomboy,

    you can't change an already imported data-group file using SCP. Doing so will break the configuration esp. the SHA1 hash of the external data-group...

    sys file data-group MyTest {
        checksum SHA1:7:5510e7f20db230e1ba2ca4b6659db79ef42e6d2c
        create-time 2016-09-26:17:04:02
        created-by itacs
        last-update-time 2016-09-26:17:05:59
        mode 33188
        revision 2
        size 7
        type string
        updated-by itacs
    }
    

    But you can SCP the external data-group files to e.g. /var/tmp/datagroup and then import/update the files using TMSH...

    Create an external data-group file

    (tmos) create sys file data-group MyTest source-path file:/var/tmp/datagroup/datagroup.txt type string
    Copying file "file:/var/tmp/datagroup/datagroup.txt" ...
      % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                     Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
      0     7    0     7    0     0    863      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
    (tmos)
    

    Update an external data-group file:

    (tmos) modify sys file data-group MyTest source-path file:/var/tmp/datagroup/datagroup.txt
    Copying file "file:/var/tmp/datagroup/datagroup.txt" ...
      % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                     Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
      0     7    0     7    0     0    731      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0
    (tmos)
    

    Cheers, Kai
