f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_message_routing_protocol module – Manage the generic message parser profile.

Note

This module is part of the f5networks.f5_modules collection (version 1.32.1).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install f5networks.f5_modules.

To use it in a playbook, specify: f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_message_routing_protocol.

New in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0

Synopsis

• Manages the generic message parser profile for use with the message routing framework.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
description string	The user-defined description of the generic parser profile.
disable_parser boolean	When true, the generic message parser is disabled, ignoring all incoming packets and not directly send message data. This mode supports iRule script protocol implementations that generates messages from the incoming transport stream and sends outgoing messages on the outgoing transport stream. Choices: false true
max_egress_buffer integer	Specifies the maximum size of the send buffer in bytes. If the number of bytes in the send buffer for a connection exceeds this value, the generic message protocol will stop receiving outgoing messages from the router until the size of the size of the buffer drops below this setting. The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.
max_msg_size integer	Specifies the maximum size of a received message. If a message exceeds this size, the connection will be reset. The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.
msg_terminator string	The string of characters used to terminate a message. If the message-terminator is not specified, the generic message parser will not separate the input stream into messages.
name string / required	Specifies the name of the generic parser profile.
no_response boolean	When set, matching of responses to requests is disabled. Choices: false true
parent string	The parent template of this parser profile. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is the system-supplied genericmsg profile.
partition string	Device partition to create route object on. Default: "Common"
provider dictionary added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0	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	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF. Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing. Choices: false ← (default) true
password aliases: pass, pwd string / required	The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.
server string / required	The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
server_port integer	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. Default: 443
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	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: "rest" ← (default)
user string / required	The username to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER.
validate_certs boolean	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. Choices: false true ← (default)
state string	When present, ensures the route exists. When absent, ensures the route is removed. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"

Notes

Note

• Requires BIG-IP >= 14.0.0

• 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.
