| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| cluster_mirroring string |
| Specifies whether mirroring occurs within the same cluster or between different clusters on a multi-bladed system. This parameter is only supported on platforms that have multiple blades, such as Viprion hardware. It is not supported on Virtual Editions (VEs). | |
| config_sync_ip string | Local IP address the system uses for ConfigSync operations. | ||
| failover_multicast boolean |
| When yes, ensures the Failover Multicast configuration is enabled and, if no further multicast configuration is provided, ensures that multicast_interface, multicast_address and multicast_port are the defaults specified in the description of each option.When no, ensures that Failover Multicast configuration is disabled. | |
| mirror_primary_address string | Specifies the primary IP address for the system to use to mirror connections. | ||
| mirror_secondary_address string | Specifies the secondary IP address for the system to use to mirror connections. | ||
| multicast_address string | IP address for the system to send multicast messages associated with failover. When failover_multicast is yes and this option is not provided, a default of 224.0.0.245 will be used. | ||
| multicast_interface string | Interface over which the system sends multicast messages associated with failover. When failover_multicast is yes and this option is not provided, a default of eth0 will be used. | ||
| multicast_port integer | Port for the system to send multicast messages associated with failover. When failover_multicast is yes and this option is not provided, a default of 62960 will be used. This value must be between 0 and 65535. | ||
| provider dictionary added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules | 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_TEEM. | |
| password string / required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.aliases: pass, pwd | ||
| server string / required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER. | ||
| server_port integer | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. | |
| 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. | |
| user string / required | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. 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. | |
| unicast_failover list / elements=dictionary | Addresses to use for failover operations. Options address and port are supported with dictionary structure, where address is the local IP address the system uses for failover operations.Port specifies the port the system uses for failover operations. If port is not specified, the default value 1026 will be used.If you are specifying the (recommended) management IP address, use 'management-ip' in the address field. When the value is set to empty list, the parameter value is removed from device. | ||
