destination string			Specifies the address for the trap destination. This can be either an IP address or a hostname.
name string / required			Name of the SNMP configuration endpoint.
network string		Choices: other management default	Specifies the name of the trap network. This option is not supported in versions of BIG-IP prior to 12.1.0, and is simply ignored on those versions. The value default was removed in BIG-IP version 13.1.0. Specifying this value when configuring a BIG-IP causes the module to stop and report an error. In this case, choose one of the other options, such as management.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
port string			Specifies the port for the trap destination.
provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules			A dict object containing connection details.

	no_f5_teem boolean	Choices: no yes	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TEEM.
	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.
	timeout integer		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	Choices: rest ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.

state string		Choices: present ← absent	When present, ensures the resource exists. When absent, ensures the resource does not exist.

Notes

Note

• This module only supports version v1 and v2c of SNMP.

• The network option is not supported on versions of BIG-IP prior to 12.1.0 because the platform did not support that option until 12.1.0. If used on versions prior to 12.1.0, it is simply be ignored.

• 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 f5networks.f5_modules.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.
