Working with the BIG/db database
The BIG/db™ database holds certain configuration information for the
BIG-IP. Most BIG-IP utilities currently use the configuration stored in
BIG/db. The bigpipe db is provided for loading configuration information
into BIG/db. An additional default.txt file is included with the BIG-IP
which contains default information you can load into the BIG/db database.

The keys are viewed and set using the bigpipe db command.
b db get <key>
b db get <reg_exp>
b db set <key>
b db set <key> = <value>
