Useful command-line troubleshooting tools
The tmsh and tmctl utilities include commands for troubleshooting device trust and device group operations. For detailed reference material on tmsh commands, see the F5 Networks® knowledge base at http://support.f5.com.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| tmsh run cm sniff-updates | Displays the commit ID updates that occur over the configuration management communications channel. |
| tmsh run cm watch-devicegroup-device | Displays information about the devices in the device group to which the local device belongs. |
| tmsh run cm watch-sys-device | Displays information about the local device. |
| tmsh run cm watch-trafficgroup-device | Displays information about the traffic groups associated with devices in a device group. |
| tmsh sys db configsync.timesyncthreshold | Displays the time threshold for the time difference between devices in the trust domain. If the time difference between devices exceeds the configured threshold value, the BIG-IP system logs an error. |
| tmsh show cm device | Displays the time difference, in seconds, between the local device and each of the other devices in the trust domain. |
| tmsh show cm traffic-group | Displays status for all traffic groups on the local device, including the next-active device, the previously-active device, and the reason that an active traffic group is active on its current device. This information is also available with the tmsh cm traffic-group all-properties command. |
| tmsh show cm sync-status | Displays the current network connection status, either connected or disconnected. |
| tmsh show sys ha-mirror | Displays the current status of mirrored connections. |

|
| tmctl sod_tg_conn_stat | Displays SOD messaging statistics for each type of message sent and received. |
| tmctl sod_tg_msg_stat | Displays the outgoing packets from the SOD daemon to the other devices in the device group. |
| tmsh modify cm trust-domain Root add-device { ca-devices true | false ip_address } device-name device_name username admin password admin | In addition to adding a device to a trust domain, returns error messages for
these conditions:
