SelfIP address block does not indicate we support both IPv4/v6

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

I’m writing to see if we can get an update to this page on F5 Ansible Modules Self-IP https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/orchestration/ansible/devel/modules/bigip_selfip_module.html#bigip-selfip-module-3

The “address” block is vague in that it does not specify IPv4 or IPv6, nor does the example show any IPv6. Can that be added for customer clarification?

Path to repo: ansible_collections/f5networks/f5_modules/plugins/modules/bigip_selfip.py

Hi @cwise24,

Thank you for your feedback. We will update the documentation. Here an example of ansible playbook to create an IPv6 self-IP.

- hosts: all
  collections:
    - f5networks.f5_modules
  connection: local

  vars:
    provider:
      server: "X.X.X.X"
      user: "admin"
      password: "mysecretpassword"
      server_port: 443
      validate_certs: no

  tasks:
    - name: Create Self IP
      bigip_selfip:
        provider: "{{ provider }}"
        address: fe80::10
        name: self1
        netmask: "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::"
        vlan: vlan1
      delegate_to: localhost

Submitted a pull request to fix this issue: Description: address: description:

• The IP addresses for the new self IP. This value is ignored upon update as addresses themselves cannot be changed after they are created.
• This value is required when creating new self IPs.
• IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.

EXAMPLE

• name: Create Self IPv6 bigip_selfip: address: fe80::10 name: self2 netmask: "ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::" vlan: vlan1 provider: password: secret server: lb.mydomain.com user: admin delegate_to: localhost
