Synopsis

Manage UDP profiles on a BIG-IP system. There are many UDP profiles, each with their own adjustments to the standard udp profile. Users of this module should be aware that many of the available options have no module default. Instead, the default is assigned by the BIG-IP system itself which, in most cases, is acceptable.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
datagram_load_balancing boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes`, specifies the system load balances UDP traffic packet-by-packet.
idle_timeout string			Specifies the length of time a connection is idle (has no traffic) before the connection is eligible for deletion. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the remote device will choose a default value appropriate for the profile, based on its `parent` profile. When a number is specified, indicates the number of seconds the UDP connection can remain idle before the system deletes it. When `indefinite`, specifies UDP connections can remain idle indefinitely. When `0` or `immediate`, specifies you do not want the UDP connection to remain idle, and it is therefore immediately eligible for deletion.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the profile.
parent string			Specifies the profile from which this profile inherits settings. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is the system-supplied `udp` profile.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
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	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		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	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. 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`.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures the profile exists. When `absent`, ensures the profile is removed.

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.

Examples

- name: Create a TCP profile
  bigip_profile_tcp:

    datagram_load_balancing: no
    state: present
    provider:
      user: admin
      password: secret
      server: lb.mydomain.com
  delegate_to: localhost
