bigip_device_group_member - Manages members in a device group

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

  • Manages members in a device group. Members in a device group can only be added or removed, never updated. This is because the members are identified by unique name values and changing that name would invalidate the uniqueness.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • f5-sdk >= 3.0.9
