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 Choices/Defaults 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
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies the current status of the DNS Express zone.
notify_action
string
    Choices:
  • consume
  • bypass
  • repeat
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.
response_policy
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies whether this DNS Express zone is a DNS response policy zone (RPZ).
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
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies whether the system verifies the identity of the authoritative nameserver that sends updated information for this DNS Express zone.
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

"Common"
Device partition to manage resources on.
provider

added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules
A dict object containing connection details.
auth_provider

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
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
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

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
server_port
integer
Default:
443
The BIG-IP server port.

transport
string
    Choices:
  • rest ←
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.

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.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
When present, ensures the resource exists.
When absent, ensures the resource is removed.
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.
