[rancid] f5 LTM help

[Matt Almgren]

Hey all, I've managed to get Cisco and Juniper working with Rancid, but with f5, there doesn't seem to be much documentation.

I did find a "f5rancid" in the 'bin' directory, but I'm not sure how to use it.

Do I simply put this in my routers.db file:

<hostname>:f5:up

Or is there some other "device-type" that is required to make rancid call the 'f5rancid' script?

Thanks, Matt

Great, I'll give it a spin.

Next question, I see there's some mention of a patch for 2.3.8 to work with the f5. I have the latest rancid 2.3.8, can someone send me the patch and tell me how to apply it? Or is it even needed (not that I've tested yet.)

Thanks, Matt

Just add device to router.db with type f5

That's what worked for me. :-)

I had to change one or two of the commands in francid for the version of
traffic manager I am running. If you edit francid and look for the
@commandtable you can see what commands will run.

You can check in rancid-fe that francid is listed in the %vendortable but
its there by default so you should be good to go.

Regards,

Mat.
