Synopsis

• Manage APM Network Access resource.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
allow_local_dns boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables local access to DNS servers configured on the client prior to establishing a network access connection.
allow_local_subnet boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables local subnet access and local access to any host or subnet in routes specified in the client routing table. When yes the system does not support integrated IP filtering.
description string			User created network access description.
dns_address_space list / elements=string			Specifies a list of domain names describing the target LAN DNS addresses.
dtls boolean		Choices: no yes	When yes the network access connection uses Datagram Transport Level Security instead of TCP, to provide better throughput for high demand applications like VoIP or streaming video.
dtls_port integer			Specifies the port number the network access resource uses for secure UDP traffic with DTLS.
excluded_dns_addresses list / elements=string			Specifies the DNS address spaces for which traffic is not forced through the tunnel.
excluded_ipv4_adresses list / elements=dictionary			Specifies IPV4 address spaces for which traffic is not forced through the tunnel.
	subnet string		The address of subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
excluded_ipv6_adresses list / elements=dictionary			Specifies IPV6 address spaces for which traffic is not forced through the tunnel.
	subnet string		The address of a subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 2001:db8:abcd:8000::/52 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
ip_version string		Choices: ipv4 ipv4-ipv6	Supported IP version on the network access resource.
ipv4_address_space list / elements=dictionary			Specifies a list of IPv4 hosts or networks describing the target LAN. This option is mandatory when creating a new resource and split_tunnel is set to yes.
	subnet string		The address of subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
ipv4_lease_pool string			Specifies the IPV4 lease pool resource to use with network access. Referencing a lease pool can be done in the full path format, for example /Common/pool_name. When a lease pool is referenced in full path format, the partition parameter is ignored.
ipv6_address_space list / elements=dictionary			Specifies a list of IPv6 hosts or networks describing the target LAN. This option is mandatory when creating a new resource and split_tunnel is set to yes.
	subnet string		The address of subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 2001:db8:abcd:8000::/52 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
ipv6_lease_pool string			Specifies the IPV6 lease pool resource to use with network access. Referencing a lease pool can be done in the full path format, for example /Common/pool_name. When a lease pool is referenced in full path format, the partition parameter is ignored.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the APM network access to manage/create.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules			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.
	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.
	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.
snat_pool string			Specifies the name of a SNAT pool used for implementing selective and intelligent SNATs. When none the system uses no SNAT pool for this network resource. When automap the system uses all of the self IP addresses as the translation addresses for the pool.
split_tunnel boolean		Choices: no yes	Specifies that only the traffic targeted to a specified address space is sent over the network access tunnel.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When state is present, ensures the ACL exists. When state is absent, ensures the ACL is removed.

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 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.
