Hi,

I was wondering whether it was possible to move traffic within IHS servers? Also would I be able to rename keep alive files within that all suing ansible?

I’m pretty new to ansible so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,  
William

I suggest asking in the #ansible-network irc channel

We did a poc a while ago taking nodes out of F5 pools in our F5 LTM  
It is a help if you have partitions set up in your F5 so you can be allowed access only to the things you want changeable via your automation.

Hope this helps,

Jon
