Synopsis ¶

Manage route domains on a BIG-IP.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

f5-sdk >= 3.0.16

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
bwc_policy			The bandwidth controller for the route domain.
connection_limit			The maximum number of concurrent connections allowed for the route domain. Setting this to `0` turns off connection limits.
description			Specifies descriptive text that identifies the route domain.
flow_eviction_policy			The eviction policy to use with this route domain. Apply an eviction policy to provide customized responses to flow overflows and slow flows on the route domain.
id			The unique identifying integer representing the route domain. This field is required when creating a new route domain. In version 2.5, this value is no longer used to reference a route domain when making modifications to it (for instance during update and delete operations). Instead, the `name` parameter is used. In version 2.6, the `name` value will become a required parameter.
name (added in 2.5)			The name of the route domain.
parent			Specifies the route domain the system searches when it cannot find a route in the configured domain.
partition (added in 2.5)		Default: Common	Partition to create the route domain on. Partitions cannot be updated once they are created.
password 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
provider (added in 2.5)		Default: None	A dict object containing connection details.
	ssh_keyfile		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	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.
	server required		The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
	user 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`.
	server_port	Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
	password 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
	validate_certs bool	Choices: 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`.
	transport required	Choices: rest cli ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
routing_protocol		Choices: none BFD BGP IS-IS OSPFv2 OSPFv3 PIM RIP RIPng	Dynamic routing protocols for the system to use in the route domain.
server required			The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
server_port (added in 2.2)		Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
service_policy			Service policy to associate with the route domain.
state		Choices: present ← absent	Whether the route domain should exist or not.
strict bool		Choices: no yes	Specifies whether the system enforces cross-routing restrictions or not.
user 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 bool (added in 2.0)		Choices: 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`.
vlans			VLANs for the system to use in the route domain.

Notes ¶

Note

For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
Requires the f5-sdk Python package on the host. This is as easy as pip install f5-sdk.
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.

Examples ¶

- name: Create a route domain
  bigip_routedomain:
    name: foo
    id: 1234
    password: secret
    server: lb.mydomain.com
    state: present
    user: admin
  delegate_to: localhost

- name: Set VLANs on the route domain
  bigip_routedomain:
    name: bar
    password: secret
    server: lb.mydomain.com
    state: present
    user: admin
    vlans:
      - net1
      - foo
  delegate_to: localhost
