Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

device

string / required

When managed is no, specifies the address, or hostname, where the BIG-IQ can reach the remote device to register.

When managed is yes, specifies the managed device, or device UUID, that you want to register.

If managed is yes, it is very important you do not have more than one device with the same name. BIG-IQ internally recognizes devices by their ID, and therefore, this module cannot guarantee the correct device will be registered. The device returned is the device that is used.

device_password

string

The password of the device_username.

When managed is no, this parameter is required.

device_port

integer

Default:

443

Specifies the port of the remote device to connect to.

If this parameter is not specified, the default is 443.

device_username

string

The username used to connect to the remote device.

This username should be one that has sufficient privileges on the remote device to do licensing. Usually this is the Administrator role.

When managed is no, this parameter is required.

key

string / required

The registration key you want to assign from the pool.

managed

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Whether the specified device is a managed or un-managed device.

When state is present, this parameter is required.

pool

string / required

The registration key pool to use.

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

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TEEM.

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

transport

string

user

string / required

The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device.

validate_certs

boolean

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS.

state

  • absent

When present, ensures the device is assigned the specified license.

When absent, ensures the license is revoked from the remote device and freed on the BIG-IQ.



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.
