security
boolean

  • no
  • yes
When yes. enables the use of enhanced Horizontal Security Layer (HSL) security checking.
state

When present, ensures the profile exists.
When absent, ensures the profile is removed.
terminate_on_bye

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.
