Can NSX load balancer be managed by CLI?

[vmmedmed]

Sometimes the GUI to the load balancer doesn't re-paint correctly or quickly. Might

it be possible to just add/change config via CLI instead of using the GUI? Thanks.

NSX does not offer Network & Security configuration via CLI (LB included).

The 2 options are:

. UI

. API

For the API you can find a dedicated API documentation.

Note: If you like PowerCLI, there is also an open project to drive NSX via PowerCLI called PowerNSX https://github.com/vmware/powernsx.

There was a dedicated session at the last VMworld 2016: NET7701.

Thanks,

Thanks. PowerNSX looks interesting.
