Testbed Requirements

F5 BIG-IP devices in the pyATS testbed:

devices:
  bigip-01:
    os: bigip
    type: load-balancer
    connections:
      rest:
        class: rest
        ip: 10.0.0.20
        port: 443
        protocol: https
    credentials:
      default:
        username: "%ENV{F5_USERNAME}"
        password: "%ENV{F5_PASSWORD}"

How to Call

Use pyats_run_show_command with iControl REST API paths:

PYATS_TESTBED_PATH=$PYATS_TESTBED_PATH python3 $MCP_CALL "${PYATS_PYTHON:-python3} -u $PYATS_MCP_SCRIPT" pyats_run_show_command '{"device_name":"bigip-01","command":"show ltm virtual"}'

Or for direct REST endpoints, the pyATS F5 connection maps these to iControl REST GETs.
