I'm not able to get ssh2-python installed on either my intel or apple silicon mac currently, erroring out. Might be a little while before I can troubleshoot. I'm guessing since you're in the tmsh shell that this won't work as advertised.

JRahm,

Thanks for your prompt response.

In my uneducated and unexperienced state, I was hoping it would work. In the end, it's just a command in the terminal, I thought.

If it's within my capabilities, I'll be glad to try anything you can suggest.

I'll see if I can make my user fall into BASH instead of TMSH when SSHing to the F5s.

Regards,
