⚡ F5 AI L3 Wizard – Python, Streamlit & Ollama AI

This repository is a hands-on lab for F5 BIG-IP LTM engineers and students. It contains six evolving versions of an interactive F5 L3 Wizard built using Python, Streamlit, and Ollama AI. The wizard helps automate the creation of VIPs, Pools, SSL profiles, SNATs, Monitors, and Profiles, while generating step-by-step F5 BIG-IP TMSH CLI scripts.

🧰 Features Across Versions

1. Basic VIP & Pool input – foundational CLI generation.
2. Auto monitor selection – automatically chooses HTTP, HTTPS, or TCP monitor based on VIP port.
3. SSL and SNAT support – add security and NAT configurations to VIPs.
4. Multi-step wizard with session persistence – smooth navigation and input tracking.
5. AI-generated CLI scripts – uses Ollama AI to generate smart automation commands.
6. Final fixed version – robust AI extraction and safe CLI outputs.

Monitor auto-selection:

• Port 443 → HTTPS Monitor
• Port 80 → HTTP Monitor
• Other → TCP Monitor

Purpose:

• Learn F5 network automation.
• Understand step-by-step evolution of automation scripts.
• Practice integrating AI with network operations.
• Generate copy-paste ready CLI for BIG-IP configurations.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install and configure Ollama AI:
python -c "import ollama; print('Ollama Installed')"

🚀 Running the Wizard

Each version adds new features. Run any with:

streamlit run f5_ollama_streamlit_wizard.py
streamlit run f5_ollama_streamlit.py
streamlit run f5_ollama_streamlit_v2.py
streamlit run f5_ollama_streamlit_v3.py
streamlit run f5_ollama_streamlit_v4.py
streamlit run f5_ollama_streamlit_v5.py

🧑‍🏫 How It Works
Wizard Interface: Streamlit forms and multi-step navigation.
AI Engine: Ollama AI generates step-by-step TMSH CLI commands.
Monitor Selection: Auto-selects HTTP, HTTPS, or TCP monitor based on VIP port.
Result: Copy-paste ready CLI scripts for VIPs, Pools, SSLs, SNATs, and Monitors.

Additional Notes:

SSL profiles and SNATs are optional.
Pool members are comma-separated.
All scripts include comments for teaching and learning purposes.
