Synopsis

  • Manage route domains on a BIG-IP system. A route domain is a BIG-IP configuration object that isolates network traffic for a particular application on the network.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

bwc_policy

string

The bandwidth controller for the route domain.

connection_limit

integer

The maximum number of concurrent connections allowed for the route domain. Setting this to 0 turns off connection limits.

description

string

Specifies descriptive text that identifies the route domain.

flow_eviction_policy

string

The eviction policy to use with this route domain. Apply an eviction policy to provide customized responses to flow overflows and slow flows on the route domain.

fw_enforced_policy

string

Specifies an AFM policy to be attached to route domain.

To remove attached AFM policy use "" or none as values.

id

integer

The unique identifying integer representing the route domain.

This field is required when creating a new route domain.

In version 2.5, this value is no longer used to reference a route domain when making modifications to it (for instance during update and delete operations). Instead, the name parameter is used. In version 2.6, the name value will become a required parameter.

name

string

The name of the route domain.

parent

string

Specifies the route domain the system searches when it cannot find a route in the configured domain.

partition

string

Partition on which you want to create the route domain. Partitions cannot be updated once they are created.

Default: “Common”

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

If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5.

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF.

Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

password

aliases: pass, pwd

string / required

The BIG-IP host.

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.

server_port

integer

The BIG-IP server port.

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT.

Default: 443

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

Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.

Choices:

  • rest ← (default)

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

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.

Choices:

  • yes ← (default)

routing_protocol

list / elements=string

Dynamic routing protocols for the system to use in the route domain.

Choices:

  • none

  • OSPFv2

  • OSPFv3

  • PIM

  • RIP

  • RIPng

service_policy

string

Service policy to associate with the route domain.

state

string

Whether the route domain should exist or not.

Choices:

  • absent

strict

boolean

Specifies whether the system enforces cross-routing restrictions or not.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

vlans

list / elements=string

VLANs for the system to use in the route domain.

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.
