 BIG-IP LTM Command Hierarchy
Modules
Modules pertain to an area of the BIG-IP configuration; a module higher in the tmsh hierarchy pertains to a
broader area of the BIG-IP configuration, such as local traffic (LTM), while a module lower in the hierarchy pertains
to a more specific area of the configuration, such as local traffic monitors. The root module is the highest level in
the tmsh hierarchy. When you initially log into tmsh, the prompt displays the root module as follows:(tmos)#

tmsh
analytics auth cli cm ltm mgmt net security sys util wom

Lower-level modules are below the root module in the hierarchy. Some modules contain sub-modules of their
own. When you navigate to a specific module in tmsh, the prompt changes to display module as
follows:(tmos.<module>.<sub-module>)#

In the following tmsh prompt example, tmos represents the root module, and ltm represents a sub-module of the
root: (tmos.ltm)#

In the following tmsh prompt example, tmos represents the root module, ltm represents a sub-module of the root,
and monitor represents a sub-module of ltm:(tmos.ltm.monitor)#
