Note
- Requires the f5-sdk Python package on the host. This is as easy as pip install f5-sdk.
- This module only supports version v1 and v2c of SNMP.
- The
network
option is not supported on versions of BIG-IP < 12.1.0 because the platform did not support that option until 12.1.0. If used on versions < 12.1.0, it will simply be ignored.
