bigip_snmp_trap - Manipulate SNMP trap information on a BIG-IP

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

Manipulate SNMP trap information on a BIG-IP.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

f5-sdk >= 3.0.9

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
community			Specifies the community name for the trap destination.
destination			Specifies the address for the trap destination. This can be either an IP address or a hostname.
name required			Name of the SNMP configuration endpoint.
network		Choices: other management default	Specifies the name of the trap network. This option is not supported in versions of BIG-IP < 12.1.0. If used on versions < 12.1.0, it will simply be ignored. The value `default` was removed in BIG-IP version 13.1.0. Specifying this value when configuring a BIG-IP will cause the module to stop and report an error. The usual remedy is to choose one of the other options, such as `management`.
partition (added in 2.5)		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
password required			The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_PASSWORD` is set. aliases: pass, pwd
port			Specifies the port for the trap destination.
provider (added in 2.5)			A dict object containing connection details.
	password required		The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_PASSWORD` is set. aliases: pass, pwd
	server required		The BIG-IP host. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_SERVER` is set.
	server_port	Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT` is set.
	user required		The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_USER` is set.
	validate_certs bool	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_VALIDATE_CERTS` is set.
	timeout	Default: 10	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	ssh_keyfile		Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	transport required	Choices: rest cli ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
server required			The BIG-IP host. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_SERVER` is set.
server_port (added in 2.2)		Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT` is set.
snmp_version		Choices: 1 2c	Specifies to which Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version the trap destination applies.
state		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the resource exists. When `absent`, ensures that the resource does not exist.
user required			The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_USER` is set.
validate_certs bool (added in 2.0)		Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You can omit this option if the environment variable `F5_VALIDATE_CERTS` is set.

Notes

Note

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.
For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
Requires the f5-sdk Python package on the host. This is as easy as pip install f5-sdk.
