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.
