Image:Vm-power-on-medium.png Usage Examples

bigpipe mgmt - displays the current management interface ip address and netmask

bigpipe mgmt 10.10.10.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 - configures the management interface with an IP address of 10.10.10.1 and a network mask of 255.255.255.0

The config command offers a character based GUI alternative to using this command.

If an IP address is already configured, you must delete it first using either of these commands;

  • bigpipe mgmt ip_address delete
  • bigpipe mgmt all delete

The management interface default gateway is set using the bigpipe mgmt route command

To save your changes (to local configuration file: bigip_base.conf) use command: bigpipe base save

Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.

Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.

The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.

Where curly or normal brackets {} or () or quotes "" or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the bash shell from parsing them as system commands.
