Synopsis ¶

Manage DNS zones on BIG-IP. The zones managed here are primarily used for configuring DNS Express on BIG-IP. This module does not configure zones that are found in BIG-IP ZoneRunner.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
dns_express dictionary			DNS express related settings.
	allow_notify_from list		Specifies the IP addresses from which the system accepts NOTIFY messages for this DNS Express zone.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	Specifies the current status of the DNS Express zone.
	notify_action string	Choices: consume bypass repeat	Specifies the action the system takes when a NOTIFY message is received for this DNS Express zone. If a TSIG key is configured for the zone, the signature is only validated for `consume` and `repeat` actions. When `consume`, the NOTIFY message is seen only by DNS Express. When `bypass`, the NOTIFY message does not go to DNS Express, but instead goes to a back-end DNS server (subject to the value of the Unhandled Query Action configured in the DNS profile applied to the listener that handles the DNS request). When `repeat`, the NOTIFY message goes to both DNS Express and any back-end DNS server.
	response_policy boolean	Choices: no yes	Specifies whether this DNS Express zone is a DNS response policy zone (RPZ).
	server string		Specifies the back-end authoritative DNS server from which the BIG-IP system receives AXFR zone transfers for the DNS Express zone.
	verify_tsig boolean	Choices: no yes	Specifies whether the system verifies the identity of the authoritative nameserver that sends updated information for this DNS Express zone.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the DNS zone. The name must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, and the underscore character.
nameservers list			Specifies the DNS nameservers to which the system sends NOTIFY messages.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
provider dictionary added in 2.5			A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_provider string		Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
	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`.
	ssh_keyfile path		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 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: cli rest ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	user string / 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`.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the resource exists. When `absent`, ensures the resource is removed.
tsig_server_key string			Specifies the TSIG key the system uses to authenticate the back-end DNS authoritative server that sends AXFR zone transfers to the BIG-IP system.

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.
