F5 BIG-IP LTM by Shell Job

This job discovers the F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) by Shell. Data Flow Management chooses all shells related to F5 and runs against them.

Versions

The package supports F5 BIG-IP LTM, versions 10.x, 11.x, 12, and 13.

Prerequisites

This adapter needs SSH protocol credentials which include username and password.
