bigip_device_dns module 'forwarders' parameter is not getting populated

[payalsin]

Hi Team.....

Task is as follows:

• name: Manage BIG-IP DNS settings bigip_device_dns: server: "{{ inventory_hostname }}" user: "{{ username }}" password: "{{ password }}" name_servers:
  • "{{ dns_server1 }}"
  • "{{ dns_server2 }}" search:
  • "{{ dns_search_domain1 }}"
  • "{{ dns_search_domain2 }}" forwarders:
  • "{{ bind_server1 }}"
  • "{{ bind_server2 }}" ip_version: "{{ ip_version }}" validate_certs: False

However the BIND forwarder list is not getting updated on the BIG-IP. (All other parameters are updated correctly)

BIG-IP version - 12.0

is this happening on the module in f5-ansible/devel?

[payalsin]

hey its happening with the module available with ansible 2.2 (did not pull modules from dev branch). Thanks

[caphrim007]

can you try the dev branch module? it would be the successor that is going to go upstream eventually

[caphrim007]

@mryanlam can you look at this?

[mryanlam]

Yes, I can

[payalsin]

I tried the dev branch module and am still seeing the issue...thanks

[mryanlam]

@payalsin How are you checking the value of the forwarders after setting them via ansible? Are you checking via the Management GUI?

[payalsin]

Yes that's correct checking them via the management GUI

[mryanlam]

F5 Product Development has assigned ID 567490 to this issue. It is not an issue with F5-ansible, but with the management gui.

@mryanlam @payalsin can you set this forwarders value using tmsh?

[delgadillo22]

Not clear if this a bug with F5 Ansible

[caphrim007]

removed this option in 2.6. It is a bug in BIG-IP @delgadillo22. You can only modify this setting via TMUI, and there is no movement to fix that. Unfortunate
