bigip_device_httpd – Manage HTTPD related settings on BIG-IP¶
New in version 2.5.
Synopsis¶
- Manages HTTPD related settings on the BIG-IP. These settings are interesting to change when you want to set GUI timeouts and other TMUI related settings.
Parameters¶
Notes¶
Note
- Requires the requests Python package on the host. This is as easy as pip install requests.
- 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.
