Synopsis

• Manages the AFM (Advanced Firewall Manager) address lists on a BIG-IP. This module can be used to add and remove address list entries.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
address_lists list / elements=string	Simple list of existing address lists to add to this list. Address lists can be specified in either their fully qualified name (/Common/foo) or their short name (foo). If a short name is used, the partition argument will automatically be prepended to the short name.
address_ranges list / elements=string	A list of address ranges where the range starts with a port number, is followed by a dash (-), and then a second number. If the first address is greater than the second number, the numbers will be reversed so they are properly formatted. For example, 2.2.2.2-1.1.1. would become 1.1.1.1-2.2.2.2.
addresses list / elements=string	Individual addresses you want to add to the list. These addresses differ from ranges and lists of lists, such as what can be used in address_ranges and address_lists respectively. This list can also include networks that have CIDR notation.
description string	Description of the address list.
fqdns list / elements=string	A list of fully qualified domain names (FQDNs). An FQDN has at least one decimal point in it, separating the host from the domain. To add FQDNs to a list requires that a global FQDN resolver is configured. This must be done using bigip_command or from the GUI of the BIG-IP. If using bigip_command, you can do this with tmsh modify security firewall global-fqdn-policy FOO where FOO is a DNS resolver configured at tmsh create net dns-resolver FOO.
geo_locations list / elements=dictionary	List of geolocations specified by their country and region.
country string / required	The country name or code of the geolocation to use. In addition to the country full names, you may also specify their abbreviated form, such as US instead of United States. Valid country codes can be found here https://countrycode.org/.
region string	Region name of the country to use.
name string / required	Specifies the name of the address list.
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 address list and entries exists. When absent, ensures the address list 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.
