How to Clone Pool/Node/Virtual Server in F5?
--> In some cases you want to clone the Pool/Node/Virtual Server in F5 then you need to take the CLI configuration of Pool/Node/Virtual Server using list commands.
--> Copy all the CLI configurations which you have taken using list commands into a notepad or notepad++.
--> Do the necessary changes such as changing the name, IP address and port number in the Notepad or Notepad++.
--> Execute the below command on the BIG IP system and paste the configuration from Notepad once you execute the command.
# tmsh load sys config mere from-terminal
[Paste your configuration here]
--> Some times you need to do bulk changes on F5 LTM or you need to copy most of the configuration from one F5 LTM to another LTM.
--> For example if you want to copy the total configuration from one BIG IP system to another BIG IP System then take the backup of the existing BIG IP System from CLI or GUI.
Ex: # tmsh save sys config oldconfig.conf
--> Now download the config file using WinSCP to your computer/laptop and perform the changes such as changing the hostname/VLAN.
--> Once you are done with the changes then save it in your computer and import the config file into the config folder of the new BIG IP system using WinSCP.
--> Execute below two commands to copy the configuration into new BIG IP System:
# tmsh load sys config file /config/oldconfig.conf merge verify { to verify the syntax of the configuration}
# tmsh load sys config file /config/oldconfig.conf merge { To copy the configuration into new BIG IP System}
Note: Don't forget to save the configuration once you are done with the configuration.
