Pools
BIG-IP® Reference Guide 4-3
Working with pools
You can manage pools using either the web-based Configuration utility or
the command-line interface. This section describes how to create, delete,
modify, or display a pool, using each of these configuration methods.
To create a pool using the Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click Pools.
The Pools screen opens.
2. Click the Add button.
The Add Pool screen opens.
3. In the Add Pool screen, fill in the fields to create the new pool and
configure its attributes.
4. Click Done.
To create a pool from the command line
To define a pool and configure its attributes from the command line, use the
following syntax:
b pool <pool_name> { member <member_definition> ... member <member_definition> }
For example, if you want to create the pool my_pool with two members,
you would type the following command:
b pool my_pool { member 11.12.1.101:80 member 11.12.1.100:80 }
Use the elements shown in Table 4.2 to construct pools from the command
line. These elements correspond to the pool attributes listed in Table 4.1.
