To use it in a playbook, specify: f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_selfip.

New in version 1.0.0: of f5networks.f5_modules

Synopsis

Manage Self-IP addresses on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
address string			The IP addresses for the new self IP. This value is ignored upon update as addresses themselves cannot be changed after they are created. This value is required when creating new self IPs.
allow_service list / elements=string			Configure port lockdown for the self IP. By default, the self IP has a "default deny" policy. This can be changed to allow TCP and UDP ports, as well as specific protocols. This list should contain `protocol`:`port` values.
description string			Description of the traffic selector.
fw_enforced_policy string added in 1.1.0 of f5networks.f5_modules			Specifies an AFM policy to attach to Self IP.
name string / required			The name of the self IP to create. If this parameter is not specified, it defaults to the value supplied in the `address` parameter.
netmask string			The netmask for the self IP. When creating a new self IP, this value is required.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on. You can set different partitions for self IPs, but the address used may not match any other address used by a self IP. Thus, self IPs are not isolated by partitions as other resources on a BIG-IP are.
provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules			A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_provider string		Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
	no_f5_teem boolean	Choices: no ← yes	If `yes`, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_TELEMETRY_OFF`. Previously used variable `F5_TEEM` is deprecated as its name was confusing.
	password string / required		The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_PASSWORD`. aliases: pass, pwd
	server string / required		The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
	server_port integer	Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
	timeout integer		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.
	transport string	Choices: rest ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	user string / required		The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_USER`.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_VALIDATE_CERTS`.
route_domain integer			The route domain id of the system. When creating a new self IP, if this value is not specified, the default value is `0`. This value cannot be changed after it is set.
state string		Choices: absent present ←	When `present`, guarantees the self IP exists with the provided attributes. When `absent`, removes the self IP from the system.
traffic_group string			The traffic group for the self IP addresses in an active-active, redundant load balancer configuration. When creating a new self IP, if this value is not specified, the default is `/Common/traffic-group-local-only`.
vlan string			The VLAN for the new self IPs. When creating a new self IP, this value is required.

Notes

Note

For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
