Configuring VLANs and self-IPs on BIG-IP devices

In this recipe, we will outline how to configure VLANs on BIG-IP nodes. VLANs on the BIG-IP nodes are fundamental for traffic separation for the different applications hosted by the BIG-IP LTM nodes. They are fundamental to designating external (internet-facing) and internal (server-facing) domains. We will also outline how to assign an IP address on the VLAN interfaces that we provision.

Getting ready

To follow along with this recipe, an Ansible inventory is assumed to be already set up. IP connectivity between Ansible and the BIG-IP nodes is already established, with the correct user credentials. As all the VLANs in this setup will be deployed on trunk ports, we need to have...
