1. Ensure you have PowerShell v7.3+ installed

2. Install options

   Install from PowerShell Gallery

   Install-Module AVIREST

   Install from this repo

   Copy the contents of this folder to a unique module directory

   Eg. %userprofile%Documents\PowerShell\Modules\AviRest

1. Review the Examples Readme

2. Import the module Import-Module AviRest

3. Connect to an ALB

   Eg. Connect-AVIRest -Server $albFQDN -Credential $credential

   Eg. Connect-AVIRest -Server $albFQDN -Username $username -Password $password

4. Review available cmdlets Get-Command -Module AviRest

This module is targetted at traditional PowerShell users. If you are comfortable referencing the API guide for each command, the AviPowerShellSDK is available.

• This module provides a cmdlet for each API method and endpoint offering easy discovery using Get-Command -Module AviRest or TAB completion
• Support for Get-Help demonstrating available parameter snippets
• Support for dynamically building API JSON body without referencing the API guide and crafting a 100 property object using New-AviRest*Object where * is any endpoint. Use Get-Command -Module AviRest -Name 'New-AVIRest*Object' to find all cmdlets
• Pipeline support with type enforcement. Aka New-AviRestvsvip | Remove-AviRestvsvip will work but New-AviRestvsvip | Remove-AviRestvsGS will not.
• API Revision cmdlet enforcement based on connected ALB. Unsupported cmdlets will throw and error based on API revision.
• HTTP query support on Get-AviRest* cmdlets including -Name,-First,-Fields,
