Description
F5 base operating system is Centos 6.xx. On top of that, it run TMOS(tmsh) which customized OS of F5. However F5 allows us manage the device from base operating system as well as TMOS. So I'm thinking to use chef inspec for compliance check as chef inspec support for centos 6
Hit the platform detection had issues when i use ssh login which default to tmsh and was successful when i use ssh login to bash shell.
F5 allows the user to switch from tmsh to bash shell vice versa.
Tmsh to Bash shell: run /util bash or bash
So is there anyway to work the platform detection for F5 by introducing something force the ssh connection/session change it from tmsh to bash before scan/detect the platform?

If there is anyway to work the platform detection for F5 by introducing something force the ssh connection/session change it from tmsh to bash before scan/detect the platform, then it works.
