Hi, internal ID to track this request is: INFRAANO-928, thanks!

Hi @kevingstewart , there is a parameter 'ip_offset', that needs to be provided when creating the service, only when creating. Due to the bug the module was showing the wrong error message. The bug's been fixed and it should the correct error msg if 'ip_offset' is missing when creating the service.

[kevingstewart]

Thank you @urohit011. However I'd like to make three clarifications:

• The ip_offset value only appears to work if the value is >= 1, but an ip_offset of 0 should be acceptable.
• The ip_offset value is an advanced setting in SSLO and should not be required in a declaration (default to 0 if not specified)
• The port_remap value is also not a required field in SSLO, and should not be required in a declaration (default to no port remap if not specified)
