Persist command, bigpipe

From NetworkCommands

A command available on most F5 BigIP platforms; used to view persistence records (or the persistence state table) maintained by the device.

Usage Syntax

bigpipe persist [options]

Common options include;

• node ip_address:port - display persistence records relating to the specified node
• pool name - display persistence records relating to the specified pool
• virtual name - display persistence records relating to the specified virtual server
• mode [cookie | dest addr | hash | key | msrdp | sip | source addr (client ip_address) | ssl | universal] - display persistence records relating to the specified persistence method. If source addr you can also specify a client source address.

Usage Examples

bigpipe persist node 10.11.12.20:80 - display persistence records related to node 10.11.12.20:80

bigpipe persist pool POOL_ONE - display persistence records related to pool POOL_ONE

bigpipe persist mode ssl - display persistence records related to persistence method ssl

Usage Notes

Despite the command accepting a mode of cookie, you cannot view cookie persistence records with this command as no state table is kept. See the Persistence, F5 BigIP article for more information.

Bigpipe Usage Notes

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.
