Synopsis ¶

Manages the AFM address lists on a BIG-IP. This module can be used to add and remove address list entries.

Aliases: bigip_security_address_list

Requirements ¶

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

f5-sdk >= 3.0.16

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
address_lists -			Simple list of existing address lists to add to this list. Address lists can be specified in either their fully qualified name (/Common/foo) or their short name (foo). If a short name is used, the `partition` argument will automatically be prepended to the short name.
address_ranges -			A list of address ranges where the range starts with a port number, is followed by a dash (-) and then a second number. If the first address is greater than the second number, the numbers will be reversed so-as to be properly formatted. ie, `2.2.2.2-1.1.1`. would become `1.1.1.1-2.2.2.2`.
addresses -			Individual addresses that you want to add to the list. These addresses differ from ranges, and lists of lists such as what can be used in `address_ranges` and `address_lists` respectively. This list can also include networks that have CIDR notation.
description -			Description of the address list
fqdns -			A list of fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). An FQDN has at least one decimal point in it, separating the host from the domain. To add FQDNs to a list requires that a global FQDN resolver be configured. At the moment, this must either be done via `bigip_command`, or, in the GUI of BIG-IP. If using `bigip_command`, this can be done with `tmsh modify security firewall global-fqdn-policy FOO` where `FOO` is a DNS resolver configured at `tmsh create net dns-resolver FOO`.
geo_locations -			List of geolocations specified by their `country` and `region`.
	country - / required	Choices: Any valid 2 character ISO country code. Any valid country name.	The country name, or code, of the geolocation to use. In addition to the country full names, you may also specify their abbreviated form, such as `US` instead of `United States`. Valid country codes can be found here https://countrycode.org/.
	region -		Region name of the country to use.
name - / required			Specifies the name of the address list.
partition -		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
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: null	A dict object containing connection details.
	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
	server - / required		The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
	server_port -	Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER_PORT`.
	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.
	transport - / required	Choices: rest cli ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	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 boolean	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`.
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`.
state -		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the address list and entries exists. When `absent`, ensures the address list is removed.
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 boolean 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`.

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 an address list
  bigip_firewall_address_list:
    name: foo

      - 3.3.3.3
      - 4.4.4.4
      - 5.5.5.5
    password: secret
    server: lb.mydomain.com
    state: present
    user: admin
  delegate_to: localhost
