Big IP F5 Basics (show run/show conf/term len 0)

Question

I've tried to find the basics in a Big IP manual but it seems to me the device is marketed towards GUI users only.

Meanwhile I want to write a few scripts to automate tasks on the load balancer. Namely:

1. how do I turn off more - when I issue a command I want the output to stream out without waiting for me to press a key for the next page
2. how do I show the running configuration (I think list all is the way to do it but cannot find it documented anywhere)

Thanks!

If you're running something pre-v11, drop to a full shell and use the bigpipe (b for short) command(s). To see the running config, use:

b list
