Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
This module can be used to license BIG-IPs that do not have access to internet.
Only the Ansible Controller needs internet access as the license activation is done on the Ansible Controller from which the module is running.
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.
