Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments

forward_zones raw				Forward zones associated with the cache. To remove all forward zones, specify a value of `none`.
	name string / required			Specifies a FQDN for the forward zone.
	nameservers list			Specifies the IP address and service port of a recursive nameserver that answers DNS queries for the zone when the response cannot be found in the DNS cache.
		address string		Address of recursive nameserver.
		port integer		Port of recursive nameserver. When specifying new nameservers, if this value is not provided, the default is `53`.
name string / required				Specifies the name of the cache.
partition string			Default: "Common"	Device partition to manage resources on.
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
provider dictionary added in 2.5				A dict object containing connection details.
	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		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.

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.
