devicegroups

Device groups are typically HA pairs — an active device and a standby. crcli devicegroups commands target the active device by default unless you specify --standby or --all. All commands accept a device group name or UUID.

`devicegroups list`

List all device groups for your tenant.

crcli devicegroups list

`devicegroups get`

Show details for a single device group.

crcli devicegroups get <group>

`devicegroups devices`

List member devices of a device group.

crcli devicegroups devices <group>

`devicegroups ssh`

Open an SSH session to a device group’s active device.

# Connect to active device
crcli devicegroups ssh <group>

# Connect to standby device
crcli devicegroups ssh <group> --standby

# Connect to both active and standby simultaneously
crcli devicegroups ssh <group> --all

# Run a command on the active device
crcli devicegroups ssh <group> -c "tmsh show sys version"

# Run a command on the standby device
crcli devicegroups ssh <group> -c "tmsh show sys version" --standby

# Run a script across multiple groups simultaneously
crcli devicegroups ssh <group1> <group2> <group3> -S ./check.sh

# Group output per device (no interleaving)
crcli devicegroups ssh <group1> <group2> -S ./check.sh --group

# Save each device's output to a file
crcli devicegroups ssh <group> -S ./audit.sh --output-dir ./results/

Flags:

Flag	Short	Description
`--standby`	`-s`	Connect to the standby device instead of active
`--all`	`-a`	Connect to both active and standby simultaneously
`--command`	`-c`	Run a command string
`--script`	`-S`	Execute a local script file
`--interpreter`	`-i`	Interpreter for script execution (default: `bash`)
`--group`	`-g`	Buffer output per device instead of interleaving
`--output-dir`		Save each device’s output to a file in this directory

`devicegroups web`

Open the BIG-IP TMUI web console in your browser for the active device.

crcli devicegroups web <group>

# Standby device
crcli devicegroups web <group> --standby

# Print URL instead of opening browser
crcli devicegroups web <group> -n

`devicegroups push`

Upload files to every device in a group simultaneously.

crcli devicegroups push <group> ./bigip.conf

# Push to multiple groups at once
crcli devicegroups push <group1> <group2> ./bigip.conf

# Specify remote destination
crcli devicegroups push <group> ./bigip.conf:/config/bigip.conf

`devicegroups pull`

Download a file from every device in a group. Files are saved as <hostname>_<filename> so they don’t overwrite each other.

crcli devicegroups pull <group> /config/bigip.conf

# Save to a specific directory
crcli devicegroups pull <group> /config/bigip.conf -o ./configs/

# Pull multiple files
crcli devicegroups pull <group> /config/bigip.conf /config/bigip_base.conf -o ./configs/

Flags:

Flag	Short	Description
`--output`	`-o`	Directory to save downloaded files (default: `.`)

Global Flags

Flag	Short	Description
`--env`	`-e`	Environment: `prod` (default), `staging`
`--output`	`-O`	Output format: `table`, `json`, `yaml`
`--debug`	`-d`	Print HTTP request/response details
`--no-telemetry`		Disable usage analytics
