Hi I am new to F5 discovery. Can someone help with the procedure. SNMP community credentials will be enough? I need to populate firmware version as well. Looks like it is not present OOB. Please suggest the best possible way to do it.
I haven't used REST api for discovery. Docs suggest might need to use that. Also SNMP community string wont be enough.
Lastly, Will the pool members populate along with the discovery (load balancer pool members) or customization will be needed for same.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Yep, SNMP V3 credentials should be enough. You also shouldn't need to configure traps on the devices. Watch out for firewall rules opening TCP161 instead of UDP161 though, that's caught me out a couple of times. You'll know if the correct port protocol isn't being used from the Shazzam payload. Also, be aware that'll you'll likely get false positive SSH credential errors as these devices commonly also have port 22 open.

Thank you for suggestions. I will keep all the things you mentioned in mind while trying to discover F5.
