Synopsis

• Manage SIP profiles on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
community string	When the dialog_aware is true and the configuration requires multiple SIP virtual server-profile pairings, this string value indicates whether the pair belongs to the same SIP proxy functional group.
description string	Description of the profile. To remove the entry completely, set a value of ''.
dialog_aware boolean	When true, the system gathers SIP dialog information and automatically forwards SIP messages belonging to the known SIP dialog. Choices: false true
enable_sip_firewall boolean	Specifies whether the Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) policy is enabled. When true, the SIP Security settings configured in the DoS Profile in AFM apply to the virtual servers that use this profile. Choices: false true
insert_record_route_header boolean	When true, inserts a Record-Route SIP header, which indicates the next hop for the following SIP request messages. Choices: false true
insert_via_header boolean	When true, inserts a Via header in the forwarded SIP request. Via headers indicate the path taken through proxy devices and transports used. The response message uses this routing information. Choices: false true
log_profile string	Specifies the logging settings the publisher uses to send log messages. The format of the name can be either be prepended by partition (/Common/foo), or specified just as an object name (foo). To remove the entry. set a value of '', however the profile log_publisher must also be set as ''.
log_publisher string	Specifies the publisher defined to log messages. Format of the name can be either be prepended by partition (/Common/foo), or specified just as an object name (foo). To remove the entry. set a value of '', however the profile log_profile must also be set as ''.
max_size integer	Specifies the maximum SIP message size that the BIG-IP system accepts. The accepted value range is 0 - 4294967295 bytes.
name string / required	Specifies the name of the SIP profile to manage.
parent string	Specifies the profile from which this profile inherits settings. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is the system-supplied sip profile.
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)
secure_via_header boolean	When checked (enabled), inserts a secure Via header in the forwarded SIP request. A secure Via header indicates where the message originated. This parameter causes the inserted Via header to specify Transport Layer Security. For this option to take effect, insert_via_header must be set to (true). Choices: false true
security boolean	When true, enables the use of enhanced Horizontal Security Layer (HSL) security checking. Choices: false true
state string	When present, ensures the profile exists. When absent, ensures the profile is removed. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
terminate_on_bye boolean	When true, closes a connection when a BYE transaction finishes. A BYE transaction is a message an application sends to another application when it is ready to close the connection between the two. Choices: false true
user_via_header string	When insert_via_header is true, specifies the Via value the system inserts as the top Via header in a SIP REQUEST message. The valid value must include SIP protocol and sent_by settings, for example: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.10.10.10:5060. To remove the entry completely, set a value of ''.

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.
