xcsh_address_allocator (Data Source)

Retrieves information about Address Allocator will create an address allocator object in ‘system’ namespace of the user in F5 Distributed Cloud. This is a read-only data source.

~> Note: For more information, see the F5 Distributed Cloud API documentation.

Example Usage

# AddressAllocator Data Source Example

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0"

  required_providers {
    xcsh = {
      source  = "f5-sales-demo/xcsh"
      version = ">= 0.1.0"
    }
  }
}

# Look up an existing AddressAllocator by name
data "xcsh_address_allocator" "example" {
  name      = "example-address-allocator"
  namespace = "staging"
}

output "address_allocator_id" {
  value = data.xcsh_address_allocator.example.id
}

Argument Reference

-> Syntax Rule: This provider uses OneOf groups for mutually exclusive options. Fields documented as “Optional Block” use block syntax field_name { ... }. Empty OneOf object attributes use field_name = {}; conditional selection uses condition ? {} : null. Boolean attributes (such as add_hsts and http_redirect) use = true or = false.

🔶 High Risk Operations — Some operations on this resource have high danger level. Destructive operations may require confirmation.

Metadata Argument Reference

• name - Required String
Name of the AddressAllocator

• namespace - Required String
Namespace where the AddressAllocator exists

Attributes Reference

In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:

• address_allocation_scheme - Optional String
Decides the scheme to be used to allocate addresses from the configured address pool

• address_pool - Optional List
Address pool from which the allocator carves out subnets or addresses to its clients

• annotations - Optional Map
Annotations applied to this resource

• description - Optional String
Description of the AddressAllocator

• id - Optional String
Unique identifier for the resource

• labels - Optional Map
Labels applied to this resource

• mode - Optional String Defaults to LOCAL
Possible values are LOCAL, GLOBAL_PER_SITE_NODE
[Enum: LOCAL|GLOBAL_PER_SITE_NODE] Mode of the address allocator Address allocator is for VERs within the local cluster or site Allocation is per site and then per node

• allocation_unit - Optional Number
Prefix length indicating the size of each allocated subnet. For example, if this is specified as 30, subnets of /30 will be allocated from the given address pool

• local_interface_address_offset - Optional Number
Used to derive address for the local interface from the allocated subnet. If Local Interface Address Type is set to ‘Offset from beginning of Subnet’, this offset value is added to the allocated subnet and used as the local interface address. For example, if the allocated subnet is 192.0.2.0/24

• local_interface_address_type - Optional String Defaults to LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_OFFSET_FROM_SUBNET_BEGIN
Possible values are LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_OFFSET_FROM_SUBNET_BEGIN, LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_OFFSET_FROM_SUBNET_END, LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_FROM_PREFIX
[Enum: LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_OFFSET_FROM_SUBNET_BEGIN|LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_OFFSET_FROM_SUBNET_END|LOCAL_INTERFACE_ADDRESS_FROM_PREFIX] Dictates how local interface address is derived from the allocated subnet Use Nth address of the allocated subnet as the local interface address, N being the Local Interface Address Offset. For example, if the allocated subnet is 192.0.2.0/24, Local Interface Address Offset is set to 2 and Local
