[rancid] RANCID and F5 BigIP LTM v11.4

[Jason Biel]

I was wondering if anyone has successfully got RANCID to work with the F5
BigIP LTM running version 11.4.x.

Using the modified "f5rancid" from the git-repo here:
https://github.com/dotwaffle/rancid-git/tree/master/bin

It appears to identify what version the LTM is running, and from there uses
either the "bigip" commands or the "tmsh" commands.

When implementing this, the rancid-run never seems to complete.

does anyone have a vmware/virtualbox image of the f5 s/w that they can give
to me? I've tried a few times to get it to load, but it hasnt worked.

I've got this working against some 11.3 nodes.

I'm currently still making some small adjustments to some of the regex
in the ShowHardware subroutine though to clean out all the stupid
temperature/fan-speed numbers that show up in the output and trigger a
diff....but it is backing up devices.

I also had to comment out the 'ShowRouteStatic' and 'ShowSsl*'
subroutines since these were causing backups to fail. I haven't had
time yet to debug why they wouldn't complete successfully.

I have Rancid working against 11.3.
Is 11.4 significantly different?
