Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
device
When managed is no, specifies the address, or hostname, where the BIG-IQ can reach the remote device to register.
When managed is yes, specifies the managed device, or device UUID, that you want to register.
If managed is yes, it is very important that you do not have more than one device with the same name. BIG-IQ internally recognizes devices by their ID, and therefore, this module's cannot guarantee that the correct device will be registered. The device returned is the device that will be used.
device_password
The password of the device_username.
When managed is no, this parameter is required.
device_port Default:
443
Specifies the port of the remote device to connect to.
If this parameter is not specified, the default of 443 will be used.
device_username
The username used to connect to the remote device.
This username should be one that has sufficient privileges on the remote device to do licensing. Usually this is the Administrator role.
When managed is no, this parameter is required.
