Note

This module is part of the f5networks.f5_modules collection (version 1.28.0).

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_dns_zone.

New in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0

Synopsis

• Manage DNS zones on BIG-IP. The zones managed here are primarily used for configuring DNS Express on a BIG-IP. This module does not configure zones that are found in BIG-IP ZoneRunner.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
dns_express dictionary	DNS express related settings.
allow_notify_from list / elements=string	Specifies the IP addresses from which the system accepts NOTIFY messages for this DNS Express zone.
enabled boolean	Specifies the current status of the DNS Express zone. Choices: false true
notify_action string	Specifies the action the system takes when a NOTIFY message is received for this DNS Express zone. If a TSIG key is configured for the zone, the signature is only validated for consume and repeat actions. When consume, the NOTIFY message is seen only by DNS Express. When bypass, the NOTIFY message does not go to DNS Express, but instead goes to a back-end DNS server (subject to the value of the Unhandled Query Action configured in the DNS profile applied to the listener that handles the DNS request). When repeat, the NOTIFY message goes to both DNS Express and any back-end DNS server. Choices: "consume" "bypass" "repeat"
response_policy boolean	Specifies whether this DNS Express zone is a DNS response policy zone (RPZ). Choices: false true
server string	Specifies the back-end authoritative DNS server from which the BIG-IP system receives AXFR zone transfers for the DNS Express zone.
verify_tsig boolean	Specifies whether the system verifies the identity of the authoritative nameserver that sends updated information for this DNS Express zone. Choices: false true
name string / required	Specifies the name of the DNS zone. The name must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, and the underscore character.
nameservers list / elements=string	Specifies the DNS nameservers to which the system sends NOTIFY messages.
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)
state string	When present, ensures the resource exists. When absent, ensures the resource is removed. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
tsig_server_key string	Specifies the TSIG key the system uses to authenticate the back-end DNS authoritative server that sends AXFR zone transfers to the BIG-IP system.

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.
