Lab 1.1: Exploring iControl¶

The iControl REST API available via TMOS can be directly accessed and endpoints explored.

1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to the following bookmarks: BIG-IP A GUI and BIG-IP API ToC. Accept any SSL warnings/errors that appear and ensure that you can access both login prompts.
2. Click on the BIG-IP API ToC bookmark to access the API Table of Contents for BIG-IP A. The /mgmt/toc path in the URL is available on all TMOS versions 11.6 or newer.
3. Authenticate using the default admin/admin credentials.
4. After successfully authenticating, you will be presented with a top-level list of REST resources available on the BIG-IP. At the top of the page is a search box that can be used to search for specific REST resources.
