Notes
Note
- Due to ID685681 it is not possible to execute ng_* tools via REST api on v12.x and 13.x, once this is fixed this restriction will be removed.
- Requires BIG-IP >= 14.0.0
- 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 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.
