Synopsis ¶

Manage user-defined APM ACLs.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
acl_order integer			Specifies a number that indicates the order of this ACL relative to other ACLs. When not set, the device will always place the ACL after the last one created. The lower number the higher the ACL will be in the general order, with lowest number `0` being the topmost one. Valid range of values is between `0` and `65535` inclusive.
description string			User created ACL description.
entries list			Access control entries that define the ACL matching and its respective behavior. The order in which the rules are placed as arguments to this parameter, determines their order in the ACL, in other words changing the order of the same elements will cause a change on the unit.
	action string / required	Choices: allow reject discard continue	Specifies the action that the access control entry takes when a match for this access control entry is encountered.
	dst_addr string		Specifies the destination IP address for the access control entry. When set to `any` the ACL will match any destination address, `dst_mask` is ignored in this case.
	dst_mask string		Optional parameter that specifies the destination network mask for the access control entry. If not specified and `dst_addr` is not `any` the `dst_addr` is deemed to be host address.
	dst_port string		Specifies the destination port for the access control entry. Can be set to `*` to indicate all ports. Parameter is mutually exclusive with `dst_port_range`.
	dst_port_range string		Specifies the destination port range for the access control entry. Parameter is mutually exclusive with `dst_port_range`. To indicate all ports the `dst_port` parameter must be used and set to `*`.
	host_name string		This parameter applies to Layer 7 access control entries only. Specifies a host to which the access control entry applies.
	log string	Choices: none packet	Specifies the log level that is logged when actions of this type occur. When `none` it will log nothing, which is a default action. When `packet` it will log the matched packet.
	paths string		This parameter applies to Layer 7 access control entries only. Specifies the path or paths to which the access control entry applies.
	protocol string	Choices: tcp icmp udp all	This parameter applies to Layer 4 access control entries only. Specifies the protocol: `tcp`, `udp`, `icmp` or `all` protocols, to which the access control entry applies.
	scheme string	Choices: http https any	This parameter applies to Layer 7 access control entries only. Specifies the URI scheme: `http`, `https` or `any` on which the access control entry operates.
	src_addr string		Specifies the source IP address for the access control entry. When set to `any` the ACL will match any source address, `src_mask` is ignored in this case.
	src_mask string		Optional parameter that specifies the source network mask for the access control entry. If not specified and `src_addr` is not `any` the `src_addr` is deemed to be host address.
	src_port string		Specifies the source port for the access control entry. Can be set to `*` to indicate all ports. Parameter is mutually exclusive with `src_port_range`.
	src_port_range string		Specifies the source port range for the access control entry. Parameter is mutually exclusive with `src_port_range`. To indicate all ports the `src_port` parameter must be used and set to `*`.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the ACL to manage.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
path_match_case boolean		Choices: no yes	Specifies whether alphabetic case is considered when matching paths in an access control entry.
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`.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When `state` is `present`, ensures that the ACL exists. When `state` is `absent`, ensures that the ACL is removed.
type string		Choices: static dynamic	Specifies the type of ACL to create. Once the type is set it cannot be changed.

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 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.
