Specifies the authentication method for phase 1 negotiation.

phase1_cert

string

Specifies the digital certificate to use for the RSA signature.

When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, and phase1_auth_method is rsa-signature, the default is default.crt.

  • blowfish
  • cast128

phase1_hash_algorithm

string

  • sha1
  • md5
  • sha256
  • sha384
  • sha512

Specifies the algorithm to use for IKE authentication.

phase1_key

string

Specifies the public key that the digital certificate contains.

When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, and phase1_auth_method is rsa-signature, the default is default.key.

This parameter is invalid when phase1_auth_method is pre-shared-key.

phase1_perfect_forward_secrecy

Specifies the Diffie-Hellman group to use for IKE Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotiations.

phase1_verify_peer_cert

boolean

  • no
  • yes

In IKEv2, specifies whether the certificate sent by the IKE peer is verified using the Trusted Certificate Authorities, a CRL, and/or a peer certificate.

In IKEv1, specifies whether the identifier sent by the peer is verified with the credentials in the certificate, in the following manner - ASN1DN; specifies that the entire certificate subject name is compared with the identifier. Address, FQDN, or User FQDN; specifies that the certificate's subjectAltName is compared with the identifier. If the two do not match, the negotiation fails.

When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, and phase1_auth_method is rsa-signature, the default is no.

This parameter is invalid when phase1_auth_method is pre-shared-key.

presented_id_type

string

  • address
  • asn1dn
  • fqdn
  • keyid-tag
  • user-fqdn
  • override

Specifies the identifier type that the local system uses to identify itself to the peer during IKE Phase 1 negotiations.

presented_id_value

string

This is a required value when version includes (Cv2).

Specifies a value for the identity when using a presented_id_type of override.

preshared_key

string

Specifies a string that the IKE peers share for authenticating each other.

This parameter is only relevant when phase1_auth_method is pre-shared-key.

This parameter is invalid when phase1_auth_method is rsa-signature.

provider

dictionary

added in 2.5

A dict object containing connection details.

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.

ssh_keyfile

path

Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports.

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

timeout

integer

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.

transport

string

  • cli
  • 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.

remote_address

string

Displays the IP address of the BIG-IP system that is remote to the system you are configuring.

server

string / required

The BIG-IP host.

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.

server_port

integer

added in 2.2

Default:

443

The BIG-IP server port.

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT.

state

string

  • present

  • absent

When present, ensures that the resource exists.

When absent, ensures the resource is removed.

update_password

string

  • always

  • on_create

always will allow to update passwords if the user chooses to do so. on_create will only set the password for newly created IKE peers.

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

added in 2.0

  • 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.

verified_id_type

string

  • address
  • asn1dn
  • fqdn
  • keyid-tag
  • user-fqdn
  • override

Specifies the identifier type that the local system uses to identify the peer during IKE Phase 1 negotiation.

This is a required value when version includes (Cv2).

When user-fqdn, value of verified_id_value must be in the form of User @ DNS domain string.

verified_id_value

string

This is a required value when version includes (Cv2).

Specifies a value for the identity when using a verified_id_type of override.

version

list

  • v1
  • v2

Specifies which version of IKE is used.

If the system you are configuring is the IPsec initiator, and you select both versions, the system tries using IKEv2 for negotiation. If the remote peer does not support IKEv2, the IPsec tunnel fails. To use IKEv1 in this case, you must deselect Version 2 and try again.

If the system you are configuring is the IPsec responder, and you select both versions, the IPsec initiator system determines which IKE version to use.

When creating a new IKE peer, 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 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.
