DESCRIPTION
       You can use the universal component to configure a universal persistence profile for the BIG-IP(r) system. With universal
       persistence you can write an expression that defines what to persist on in a packet. The expression, written using the same
       expression syntax that you use in iRules(r), defines some sequence of bytes to use as a session identifier.

       A persistence profile is a profile that enables persistence when you assign the profile to a virtual server. Using a
       persistence profile means that you do not have to write an iRule to implement a type of persistence. You can either use the
       default profile, or create a custom profile based on the default.

EXAMPLES
       list universal

       Displays all universal persistence profiles.

       create universal uni_persistence defaults-from universal

       Creates a custom universal persistence profile named uni_persistence that inherits its settings from the default universal
       persistence profile.

       mv universal /Common/my_universal_profile to-folder /Common/my_folder

       Moves a custom universal persistence profile named my_universal_profile to a folder named my_folder, where my_folder has
       already been created and exists within /Common.

OPTIONS
       app-service
	    Specifies the name of the application service to which the profile belongs. The default value is none. Note: If the
	    strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot modify or delete the
	    profile. Only the application service can modify or delete the profile.

       defaults-from
	    Specifies the existing profile from which the system imports settings for the new profile. The default value is
	    universal, the system default cookie persistence profile.

       description
	    User defined description.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression syntax.

       match-across-pools
	    Specifies, when enabled, that the system can use any pool that contains this persistence record. The default value is
	    disabled.

       match-across-services
	    Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from a client IP address, which go to the same virtual IP
	    address, also go to the same node. The default value is disabled.

       match-across-virtuals
	    Specifies, when enabled, that all persistent connections from the same client IP address go to the same node. The
	    default value is disabled.

       mirror
	    Specifies whether the system mirrors persistence records to the high-availability peer. The default value is disabled.

       name Specifies a unique name for the component. This option is required for the commands create, delete, and modify.

       override-connection-limit
	    Specifies, when enabled, that the pool member connection limits are not enforced for persisted clients. Per-virtual
	    connection limits remain hard limits and are not disabled. The default value is disabled.

       partition
	    Displays the administrative partition within which the component resides.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at sign (@[regular
	    expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for a description of regular
	    expression syntax.

       rule Specifies an iRule name when you are using a rule for universal persistence.

       timeout
	    Specifies the duration of the persistence entries. The default value is 180 seconds.

       to-folder
	    universal persistence profiles can be moved to any folder under /Common, but configuration dependencies may restrict
	    moving the profile out of /Common.
