Synopsis

• Manage APM Network Access resource.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
allow_local_dns boolean	Enables local access to DNS servers configured on the client prior to establishing a network access connection. Choices: false true
allow_local_subnet boolean	Enables local subnet access and local access to any host or subnet in routes specified in the client routing table. When true the system does not support integrated IP filtering. Choices: false true
description string	User created network access description.
dns_address_space list / elements=string	Specifies a list of domain names describing the target LAN DNS addresses.
dtls boolean	When true the network access connection uses Datagram Transport Level Security instead of TCP, to provide better throughput for high demand applications like VoIP or streaming video. Choices: false true
dtls_port integer	Specifies the port number the network access resource uses for secure UDP traffic with DTLS.
excluded_dns_addresses list / elements=string	Specifies the DNS address spaces for which traffic is not forced through the tunnel.
excluded_ipv4_adresses list / elements=dictionary	Specifies IPV4 address spaces for which traffic is not forced through the tunnel.
subnet string	The address of subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
excluded_ipv6_adresses list / elements=dictionary	Specifies IPV6 address spaces for which traffic is not forced through the tunnel.
subnet string	The address of a subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 2001:db8:abcd:8000::/52 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
ip_version string	Supported IP version on the network access resource. Choices: "ipv4" "ipv4-ipv6"
ipv4_address_space list / elements=dictionary	Specifies a list of IPv4 hosts or networks describing the target LAN. This option is mandatory when creating a new resource and split_tunnel is set to true.
subnet string	The address of subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 192.168.1.0/24 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
ipv4_lease_pool string	Specifies the IPV4 lease pool resource to use with network access. Referencing a lease pool can be done in the full path format, for example /Common/pool_name. When a lease pool is referenced in full path format, the partition parameter is ignored.
ipv6_address_space list / elements=dictionary	Specifies a list of IPv6 hosts or networks describing the target LAN. This option is mandatory when creating a new resource and split_tunnel is set to true.
subnet string	The address of subnet in CIDR format, e.g. 2001:db8:abcd:8000::/52 Host addresses can be specified without the CIDR mask notation.
ipv6_lease_pool string	Specifies the IPV6 lease pool resource to use with network access. Referencing a lease pool can be done in the full path format, for example /Common/pool_name. When a lease pool is referenced in full path format, the partition parameter is ignored.
name string / required	Specifies the name of the APM network access to manage/create.
partition string	Device partition to manage resources on. Default: "Common"
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 or the BIG-IQ. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.
server string / required	The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ 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 or the BIG-IQ. 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)
snat_pool string	Specifies the name of a SNAT pool used for implementing selective and intelligent SNATs. When none the system uses no SNAT pool for this network resource. When automap the system uses all of the self IP addresses as the translation addresses for the pool.
split_tunnel boolean	Specifies that only the traffic targeted to a specified address space is sent over the network access tunnel. Choices: false true
state string	When state is present, ensures the ACL exists. When state is absent, ensures the ACL is removed. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"

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.
