bigip_snmp_trap – Manipulate SNMP trap information on a BIG-IP

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

• Manipulate SNMP trap information on a BIG-IP.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
community string			Specifies the community name for the trap destination.
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 < 12.1.0. If used on versions < 12.1.0, it will simply be ignored. The value default was removed in BIG-IP version 13.1.0. Specifying this value when configuring a BIG-IP will cause the module to stop and report an error. The usual remedy is to choose one of the other options, such as management.
partition string added in 2.5		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
port string			Specifies the port for the trap destination.
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.
snmp_version string		Choices: 1 2c	Specifies to which Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version the trap destination applies.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When present, ensures that the resource exists. When absent, ensures that 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 < 12.1.0 because the platform did not support that option until 12.1.0. If used on versions < 12.1.0, it will 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 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.
