Choices/Defaults |
Comments |
early_retransmit
boolean
added in 2.9 |
|
When yes the system uses early fast retransmits to reduce the recovery time for connections that are receive-buffer or user-data limited.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
idle_timeout
string
|
|
Specifies the length of time that a connection is idle (has no traffic) before the connection is eligible for deletion.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the remote device will choose a default value appropriate for the profile, based on its parent profile.
When a number is specified, indicates the number of seconds that the TCP connection can remain idle before the system deletes it.
When 0 , or indefinite , specifies that the system does not delete TCP connections regardless of how long they remain idle.
|
initial_congestion_window_size
integer
added in 2.9 |
|
Specifies the initial congestion window size for connections to this destination. The actual window size is this value multiplied by the MSS for the same connection.
When set to 0 the system uses the values specified in RFC2414.
The valid value range is 0 - 16 inclusive.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
initial_receive_window_size
integer
added in 2.9 |
|
Specifies the initial receive window size for connections to this destination. The actual window size is this value multiplied by the MSS for the same connection.
When set to 0 the system uses the Slow Start value.
The valid value range is 0 - 16 inclusive.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
nagle
string
added in 2.9 |
Choices:
- auto
- enabled
- disabled
|
When enabled the system applies Nagle's algorithm to reduce the number of short segments on the network.
When auto , the use of Nagle's algorithm is decided based on network conditions.
Note that for interactive protocols such as Telnet, rlogin, or SSH, F5 recommends disabling this setting on high-latency networks, to improve application responsiveness.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
name
string
/ required
|
|
Specifies the name of the profile.
|
parent
string
|
|
Specifies the profile from which this profile inherits settings.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is the system-supplied tcp profile.
|
partition

Default:
"Common"
|
Device partition to manage resources on.

provider
dictionary
added in 2.5 |
|
A dict object containing connection details.
|
|
auth_provider

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
|
|
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
|
|
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 .
|
proxy_options
boolean
added in 2.9 |
|
When yes the system advertises an option, such as a time-stamp to the server only if it was negotiated with the client.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
state
string
|
Choices:
present ←
- absent
|
When present , ensures that the profile exists.
When absent , ensures the profile is removed.
|
syn_rto_base
integer
added in 2.9 |
|
Specifies the initial RTO Retransmission TimeOut base multiplier for SYN retransmission, in milliseconds .
This value is modified by the exponential backoff table to select the interval for subsequent retransmissions.
The valid value range is 0 - 5000 inclusive.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
time_wait_recycle
boolean
added in 2.7 |
