f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_snmp_trap module – Manipulate SNMP trap information on a BIG-IP

Note

This module is part of the f5networks.f5_modules collection (version 1.21.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules.

To use it in a playbook, specify: f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_snmp_trap.

New in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0

Synopsis

• Manipulate SNMP trap information on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
auth_password string added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.16.0	Specifies the Authentication protocol password to be used for snmp v3 traps Required for the snmp_version matches v3 and for the security_level
auth_protocol string added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.16.0	Specifies the Authentication protocol to be used for snmp v3 traps Required for the security_level Choices: "sha" "md5"
community string	Specifies the community name for the trap destination.
destination string	Specifies the address for the trap destination. This can be either an IP address or a hostname.
name string / required	Name of the SNMP configuration endpoint.
network string	Specifies the name of the trap network. This option is not supported in versions of BIG-IP prior to 12.1.0, and is simply ignored on those versions. The value default was removed in BIG-IP version 13.1.0. Specifying this value when configuring a BIG-IP causes the module to stop and report an error. In this case, choose one of the other options, such as management. Choices: "other" "management" "default"
partition string	Device partition to manage resources on. Default: "Common"
port string	Specifies the port for the trap destination.
privacy_password string added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.16.0	Specifies the Privacy protocol password to be used for snmp v3 traps Required for the security_level matches c(auth-privacy)
privacy_protocol string added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.16.0	Specifies the Privacy protocol to be used for snmp v3 traps Required for the security_level matches c(auth-privacy) Choices: "aes" "des"
provider dictionary added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0	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: false ← (default) true
password aliases: pass, pwd 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.
server 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: false true ← (default)
security_level string added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.16.0	Specifies the port for the trap destination. Required for the snmp_version matches v3. Choices: "auth-no-privacy" "auth-privacy"
security_name string added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.16.0	Specifies the security name to used for v3 snmp trap Required for the snmp_version matches v3.
snmp_version string	Specifies to which Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) version the trap destination applies. Choices: "1" "2c" "3"
state string	When present, ensures the resource exists. When absent, ensures the resource does not exist. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"

Notes

Note

• This module only supports version v1 and v2c of SNMP.

• The network option is not supported on versions of BIG-IP prior to 12.1.0 because the platform did not support that option until 12.1.0. If used on versions prior to 12.1.0, it is simply be ignored.

• 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.
