Synopsis

Manages static routes for routing message protocol messages.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
description string			The user defined description of the static route.
dst_address string			Specifies the destination address of the route. Setting the attribute to an empty string will create a wildcard matching all message destination-addresses, which is the default when creating a new route.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the static route.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to create route object on.
peer_selection_mode string		Choices: ratio sequential	Specifies the method to use when selecting a peer from the provided list of `peers`.
peers list			Specifies a list of ltm messagerouting-peer objects. The specified peer must be on the same partition as the route.
provider dictionary added in 2.5			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.
	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`.
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE`.
	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	Choices: cli 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. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_USER`.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	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`.
src_address string			Specifies the source address of the route. Setting the attribute to an empty string will create a wildcard matching all message source-addresses, which is the default when creating a new route.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the route exists. When `absent`, ensures the route is removed.
type string		Choices: generic ←	Parameter used to specify the type of the route to manage. Default setting is `generic` with more options added in future.

Notes

Note

Requires BIG-IP >= 14.0.0
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 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.
