Synopsis

  • Manage CGNAT LSN (Large Scale NAT) Pools.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

backup_members

list / elements=string

Specifies translation IP addresses available for backup members, which are used by Deterministic translation mode if deterministic mode translation fails and falls back to napt mode.

This is a collection of IP prefixes with their prefix lengths.

client_conn_limit

integer

Specifies the maximum number of simultaneous translated connections a client or subscriber is allowed to have.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.

description

string

User created LSN pool description.

egress_interfaces

list / elements=string

Specifies the set of interfaces on which the source address translation is allowed or disallowed, as determined by the egress_intf_enabled setting.

egress_intf_enabled

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Specifies how the system handles address translation on the interfaces specified in egress_interfaces.

When set to yes, source address translation is allowed only on the specified egress_interfaces.

When set to no, source address translation is disabled on the specified egress_interfaces.

harpin_mode

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Enables or disables hairpinning for incoming connections to active translation end-points.

icmp_echo

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Enables or disables ICMP echo on translated addresses.

inbound_connections

string

  • disabled
  • explicit
  • automatic

Controls whether or not the BIG-IP system supports inbound connections for each outbound mapping.

When disabled, system does not support inbound connections for outbound mappings, which prevents Port Control Protocol pcp from functioning.

When explicit, the system supports inbound connections for explicit outbound mappings.

When automatic the system supports inbound connections for every outbound mapping as it gets used.

log_profile

string

Specifies the name of the logging profile the pool uses.

log_publisher

string

Specifies the name of the log publisher that logs translation events.

members

list / elements=string

Specifies the set of translation IP addresses available in the pool. This is a collection of IP prefixes with their prefix lengths.

All public-side addresses come from the addresses in this group of subnets. Members of two or more deterministic LSN pools must not overlap. Every external address used for deterministic mapping must occur only in one LSN pool.

mode

string

  • napt
  • deterministic
  • pba

Specifies the translation address mapping mode.

The napt mode provides standard address and port translation allowing multiple clients in a private network to access remote networks using the single IP address assigned to their router.

The deterministic address translation mode provides address translation that eliminates the logging of every address mapping, while still allowing internal client address tracking using only an external address and port, and a destination address and port.

The pba mode logs the allocation and release of port blocks for subscriber translation requests, instead of separately logging each translation request.

name

string / required

Specifies the name of the LSN pool to manage.

partition

string

Default:

"Common"

Device partition on which to manage resources.

pba_block_idle_timeout

integer

Specifies the timeout duration subsequent to the point when the port block becomes idle.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive."

pba_block_lifetime

integer

Specifies the timeout for the port block, after which the block is not used for new port allocations.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.

The value of 0 corresponds to an infinite timeout.

pba_block_size

integer

Specifies the number of ports in a block.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 65535 inclusive.

The pba_block_size value should be less than or equal to the LSN pool range, i.e the range of ports defined by port_range_low and port_range_high values.

pba_client_block_limit

integer

Specifies the number of blocks that can be assigned to a single subscriber IP address.

pba_zombie_timeout

integer

Specifies the timeout duration for a zombie port block, which is a timed out port block with one or more active connections. When the timeout duration expires, connections using the zombie block are killed and the zombie port block becomes an available port block.

The value of 0 corresponds to an infinite timeout.

System ignores this parameter value if pba_block_lifetime is 0.

persistence_mode

string

  • address
  • address-port
  • none

Specifies the persistence settings for LSN translation entries.

When address, the translation attempts to reuse the address mapping, but not the port mapping.

When address-port, the translation attempts to reuse both the address and port mapping for subsequent packets sent from the same internal IP address and port.

When none, peristence is disabled.

persistence_timeout

integer

Specifies the persistence timeout value for LSN translation entries.

If a particular mapping is unused for this length of time, the mapping expires and the public-side address/port pair is free for use in other mappings.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 31536000 inclusive.

port_range_high

integer

Specifies the high end of the range of port numbers available for use with translation IP addresses.

The port_range_high must always be higher or equal to port_range_high value.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 65535 inclusive.

port_range_low

integer

Specifies the low end of the range of port numbers available for use with translation IP addresses.

The port_range_low must always be lower or equal to port_range_high value.

Valid range of values is between 0 and 65535 inclusive.

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

  • no
  • yes

If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5.

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

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

  • 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

  • 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_advertisement

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Specifies whether the translation addresses are passed to the Advanced Routing Module for advertisement through dynamic routing protocols.

state

string

  • present ←

  • absent

When state is present, ensures the LSN pool exists.

When state is absent, ensures the LSN pool is removed.



Notes

Note

  • Requires CGNAT is licensed and enabled on BIG-IP.
  • 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.
