Lab 1 – Puppet automation with f5_command
-----------------------------------------

Following is a sample Puppet manifest file (``site.pp``) to run a TMSH command:

.. code:: console

   node bigip1 {

   f5_command { '/Common/tmsh':
	  tmsh  => "tmsh create ltm node 2.2.2.2",
   }

   }

Running the ``puppet device -v --user=root`` command will have the TMSH command
apply to the F5 device.


.. code:: console

   $ sudo puppet device -v --user=root --trace
