Hello Angel,

 

 

Yes, 9.4.8 is a supported BIG-IP platform for the Management Pack.

 

 

The big3d binary must be updated to collect real-time statistics and configuration information from the device. However, the big3d agent will only be updated if you explicitly authorize it during the discovery process.

 

 

This is documented at: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/MgmtPack/DiscoveringF5NetworksDevices.html

 

 

If you would prefer to update the big3d agent manually, this is documented at: http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/MgmtPack/Big3dManualUpdate.html

 

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let us know.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Stephen Fisher
