Synopsis

Manages source address persistence profiles.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
entry_timeout string			Specifies the duration of the persistence entries. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile. To specify an indefinite timeout, use the value `indefinite`. If specifying a numeric timeout, the value must be between `1` and `4294967295`.
hash_algorithm string		Choices: default carp	Specifies the algorithm the system uses for hash persistence load balancing. The hash result is the input for the algorithm. When `default`, specifies that the system uses the index of pool members to obtain the hash result for the input to the algorithm. When `carp`, specifies that the system uses the Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP) to obtain the hash result for the input to the algorithm. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
match_across_pools boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes`, specifies that the system can use any pool that contains this persistence record. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
match_across_services boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes`, specifies that all persistent connections from a client IP address that go to the same virtual IP address also go to the same node. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
match_across_virtuals boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes`, specifies that all persistent connections from the same client IP address go to the same node. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
name string / required			Specifies the name of the profile.
override_connection_limit boolean		Choices: no yes	When `yes`, specifies that the system allows you to specify that pool member connection limits will be overridden for persisted clients. Per-virtual connection limits remain hard limits and are not overridden.
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 `source_addr` profile.
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.
	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`.
server string / required			The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable `F5_SERVER`.
server_port integer 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 string		Choices: present ← absent	When `present`, ensures that the profile exists. When `absent`, ensures the profile is removed.
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 added in 2.0		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`.

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.
