Notes

Note

  • Requires the rpm tool be installed on the host. This can be accomplished through different ways on each platform. On Debian based systems with apt; apt-get install rpm. On Mac with brew; brew install rpm. This command is already present on RedHat based systems.
  • Requires BIG-IP >= 12.1.0 because the required functionality is missing on versions earlier than that.
  • The module name bigip_iapplx_package has been deprecated in favor of bigip_lx_package.
  • 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.
