SUMMARY
Seems like bigip_static_route is not idempotent when create I role, otherwise runs OK, please see my steps below; let me know if I am doing something wrong
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
- name: F5 BIGIP PLAYBOOK
hosts: bigip
gather_facts: false
connection: local
collections:
- f5networks.f5_modules
vars:
cli:
server: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
user: "{{ ansible_user }}"
password: "{{ ansible_pass }}"
server_port: "{{ port }}"
validate_certs: no
roles:
- bigip-static-route
bigip-static-route main.yml file
- name: Create static route with gateway address
bigip_static_route:
name: "{{ item.name }}"
description: "{{ item.description }}"
destination: "{{ item.destination }}"
netmask: "{{ item.netmask }}"
gateway_address: "{{ item.gateway_address }}"
partition: "{{ item.partition }}"
# mtu: "{{ item.mtu }}"
route_domain: "{{ item.route_domain }}"
state: "{{ item.state }}"
provider: "{{ cli }}"
delegate_to: localhost
with_items: "{{ static_route }}"
Variables for this role
static_route:
- name: default_route
description: default_route
destination: 0.0.0.0
netmask: 0.0.0.0
gateway_address: 192.168.10.254

@muhammad-rafi - Unable to reproduce this issue with devel build. Can you recheck the same. for multiple times I just see ok=1 and changed=0
Hi @trinaths , I have tried with the devel and results are same, infact I try to compare this devel with the collections I download from galaxy, both modules are identical, you think I may be doing something wrong ? let me know please if you need more details.
@muhammad-rafi I tested using the below playbook.
tasks:
- name: Create static route with gateway address
bigip_static_route:
name: default_route
description: default_route
destination: 0.0.0.0
netmask: 0.0.0.0
gateway_address: 192.168.10.250
partition: Common
route_domain: 0
state: present
provider: "{{ provider }}"
delegate_to: localhost
Can you try the above playbook. did not usewith_items ?
@trinaths, In your example above, you hard coded the parameters which is idempotent and even if you pass the variable via with_items will be OK too but as soon as you create a role like in my original question, it looses the idempotency, let me know if this make sense ?
Hi @muhammad-rafi , I don't think it is an issue if the output you mentioned is coming only when you run the playbook for the first time. Could you please tell if you see the same output even after running the playbook multiple times without making any changes to the playbook and the static routes?
Hi, we are closing this request now. Please re-open if required or send an email to [email protected]. Thanks!
