name string / required			Specifies the name of the traffic selector.
order integer			Specifies the order in which traffic is matched, if traffic can be matched to multiple traffic selectors. Traffic is matched to the traffic selector with the highest priority (lowest order number). When creating a new traffic selector, if this parameter is not specified, the default is `last`.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
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

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.
