Synopsis ¶

Manage IPSec IKE Peer configuration on BIG-IP.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
description string			Description of the IKE peer.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the IKE peer.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
phase1_auth_method string		Choices: pre-shared-key rsa-signature	Specifies the authentication method for phase 1 negotiation. When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, the default is `rsa-signature`.
phase1_cert string			Specifies the digital certificate to use for the RSA signature. When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, and `phase1_auth_method` is `rsa-signature`, the default is `default.crt`. This parameter is invalid when `phase1_auth_method` is `pre-shared-key`.
phase1_encryption_algorithm string		Choices: 3des des blowfish cast128 aes128 aes192 aes256 camellia	Specifies the algorithm to use for IKE encryption. IKE `version` `v2` does not support `blowfish`, `camellia`, or `cast128`.
phase1_hash_algorithm string		Choices: sha1 md5 sha256 sha384 sha512	Specifies the algorithm to use for IKE authentication.
phase1_key string			Specifies the public key that the digital certificate contains. When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, and `phase1_auth_method` is `rsa-signature`, the default is `default.key`. This parameter is invalid when `phase1_auth_method` is `pre-shared-key`.
phase1_perfect_forward_secrecy string		Choices: ecp256 ecp384 ecp521 modp768 modp1024 modp1536 modp2048 modp3072 modp4096 modp6144 modp8192	Specifies the Diffie-Hellman group to use for IKE Phase 1 and Phase 2 negotiations.
phase1_verify_peer_cert boolean		Choices: no yes	In IKEv2, specifies whether the certificate sent by the IKE peer is verified using the Trusted Certificate Authorities, a CRL, and/or a peer certificate. In IKEv1, specifies whether the identifier sent by the peer is verified with the credentials in the certificate, in the following manner - ASN1DN; specifies that the entire certificate subject name is compared with the identifier. Address, FQDN, or User FQDN; specifies that the certificate's subjectAltName is compared with the identifier. If the two do not match, the negotiation fails. When creating a new IKE peer, if this value is not specified, and `phase1_auth_method` is `rsa-signature`, the default is `no`. This parameter is invalid when `phase1_auth_method` is `pre-shared-key`.
presented_id_type string		Choices: address asn1dn fqdn keyid-tag user-fqdn override	Specifies the identifier type that the local system uses to identify itself to the peer during IKE Phase 1 negotiations.
presented_id_value string			This is a required value when `version` includes (Cv2). Specifies a value for the identity when using a `presented_id_type` of `override`.
preshared_key string			Specifies a string that the IKE peers share for authenticating each other. This parameter is only relevant when `phase1_auth_method` is `pre-shared-key`. This parameter is invalid when `phase1_auth_method` is `rsa-signature`.
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`.
remote_address string			Displays the IP address of the BIG-IP system that is remote to the system you are configuring.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the resource exists. When `absent`, ensures the resource is removed.
update_password string		Choices: always ← on_create	`always` will allow to update passwords if the user chooses to do so. `on_create` will only set the password for newly created IKE peers.
verified_id_type string		Choices: address asn1dn fqdn keyid-tag user-fqdn override	Specifies the identifier type that the local system uses to identify the peer during IKE Phase 1 negotiation. This is a required value when `version` includes (Cv2). When `user-fqdn`, value of `verified_id_value` must be in the form of User @ DNS domain string.
verified_id_value string			This is a required value when `version` includes (Cv2). Specifies a value for the identity when using a `verified_id_type` of `override`.
version list		Choices: v1 v2	Specifies which version of IKE is used. If the system you are configuring is the IPsec initiator, and you select both versions, the system tries using IKEv2 for negotiation. If the remote peer does not support IKEv2, the IPsec tunnel fails. To use IKEv1 in this case, you must deselect Version 2 and try again. If the system you are configuring is the IPsec responder, and you select both versions, the IPsec initiator system determines which IKE version to use. When creating a new IKE peer, this value is required.

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.
