Synopsis

Manage SNAT pools on a BIG-IP system.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
description string	An optional description of the SNAT pool.
members aliases: member list / elements=string	List of members to put in the SNAT pool. When `state` is `present`, this parameter is required, otherwise it is optional. The members can be either IP addresses or names of the SNAT translation objects.
name string / required	The name of the SNAT pool.
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	Whether the SNAT pool should exist or not. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`

Notes

Note

When the bigip_snat_pool object is removed, it also removes any associated bigip_snat_translation objects.
This is a BIG-IP behavior not module behavior, and it only occurs when the bigip_snat_translation objects are also not referenced by another bigip_snat_pool.
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.
