New in version 2.2.
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
cmp_hash (added in 2.5) |
| Specifies how the traffic on the VLAN will be disaggregated. The value selected determines the traffic disaggregation method. You can choose to disaggregate traffic based on source-address (the source IP address), destination-address (destination IP address), or default , which specifies that the default CMP hash uses L4 ports.When creating a new VLAN, if this parameter is not specified, the default of default is used. | |
dag_round_robin bool (added in 2.5) |
| Specifies whether some of the stateless traffic on the VLAN should be disaggregated in a round-robin order instead of using a static hash. The stateless traffic includes non-IP L2 traffic, ICMP, some UDP protocols, and so on. When creating a new VLAN, if this parameter is not specified, the default of (no) is used. | |
dag_tunnel (added in 2.5) |
| Specifies how the disaggregator (DAG) distributes received tunnel-encapsulated packets to TMM instances. Select inner to distribute packets based on information in inner headers. Select outer to distribute packets based on information in outer headers without inspecting inner headers.When creating a new VLAN, if this parameter is not specified, the default of outer is used.This parameter is not supported on Virtual Editions of BIG-IP. | |
description | The description to give to the VLAN. | ||
mtu (added in 2.5) | Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for traffic on this VLAN. When creating a new VLAN, if this parameter is not specified, the default value used will be 1500 .This number must be between 576 to 9198. | ||
name required | The VLAN to manage. If the special VLAN ALL is specified with the state value of absent then all VLANs will be removed. | ||
partition (added in 2.5) | Default: Common | Device partition to manage resources on. | |
password 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 | ||
provider (added in 2.5) | Default: None | A dict object containing connection details. | |
ssh_keyfile | 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 | Default: 10 | 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. | |
server required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER . | ||
user 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 . | ||
server_port | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT . | |
password 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 | ||
validate_certs bool |
| 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 . | |
transport required |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
server required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER . | ||
server_port (added in 2.2) | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT . | |
state |
| The state of the VLAN on the system. When present , guarantees that the VLAN exists with the provided attributes. When absent , removes the VLAN from the system. | |
tag | Tag number for the VLAN. The tag number can be any integer between 1 and 4094. The system automatically assigns a tag number if you do not specify a value. | ||
tagged_interfaces | Specifies a list of tagged interfaces and trunks that you want to configure for the VLAN. Use tagged interfaces or trunks when you want to assign a single interface or trunk to multiple VLANs. aliases: tagged_interface | ||
untagged_interfaces | Specifies a list of untagged interfaces and trunks that you want to configure for the VLAN. aliases: untagged_interface | ||
user 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 bool (added in 2.0) |
| 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 . |
