Supported BIG/db configuration keys
The BIG/db is a database that contains configuration elements for the
BIG-IP. Configuration options that BIG/db supports include:
• Fail-over
• State mirroring
• Gateway failsafe pingers
• Configuration synchronization
• Interface related settings
• Health monitor settings
The BIG/db keys for each of these features are described in the following
series of tables. The keys are viewed and set using the bigpipe db
command.
b db get <key>
b db get <reg_exp>
b db set <key>
b db set <key> = <value>
b db unset <key>
b db unset <reg_exp>
b db dump [filename]
To display current setting of a BIG/db configuration key
To display the value of a BIG/db configuration key, use the following
syntax:
b db get <key>
b db get <regular_exp>
For example, the following command displays the value of
Local.Bigip.FTB.HostNumber
:
b db get Local.Bigip.FTB.HostNumber
The following command displays the value of all local keys:
b db get Local.*
To set a BIG/db configuration key
To create (set) a BIG/db configuration key, use the following syntax:
b db set <key>
To set a BIG/db configuration key and assign a value to it, use the following
syntax:
b db set <key> = <value>
For example, the following command sets Local.Bigip.FTB.HostNumber
mode to on:
b db set Local.Bigip.FTB.HostNumber = 1
