xcsh_virtual_network (Resource)

Manages virtual network in given namespace in F5 Distributed Cloud.

~> Note: For more information, see the Virtual Network API documentation.

# VirtualNetwork Resource Example
# Manages virtual network in given namespace in F5 Distributed Cloud.
terraform {
required_version = ">= 1.0"
required_providers {
xcsh = {
source = "f5-sales-demo/xcsh"
version = ">= 0.1.0"
}
}
}
# Basic VirtualNetwork configuration
resource "xcsh_virtual_network" "example" {
name = "example-virtual-network"
namespace = "system"
}

-> 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.

• name - Required String
Name of the Virtual Network. Must be unique within the namespace

• annotations - Optional Map
Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata

• description - Optional String
Human readable description for the object

• disable - Optional Bool
A value of true administratively disables the object

• labels - Optional Map
Labels is a user defined key value map that can be attached to resources for organization and filtering

• namespace - Optional String
Namespace for the Virtual Network. The F5 XC API restricts this resource to the system namespace; it defaults to that value and may be omitted

-> One of the following: • global_network - Optional Object
Select the global virtual-network scope for connectivity across participating sites

• site_local_inside_network - Optional Object
Select the site-local inside network for site-internal connectivity

• site_local_network - Optional Object
Select a site-local virtual network when connectivity must remain within one site

• static_routes - Optional Block
List of static routes on the virtual network
See Static Routes below for details.

• timeouts - Optional Block
See Timeouts below for details.

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

• id - Optional String
Unique identifier for the resource


A static_routes block supports the following:

• attrs - Optional List Defaults to ROUTE_ATTR_NO_OP

• ip_prefixes - Optional List
List of route prefixes that have common next hop and attributes

• node_interface - Optional Block

See Node Interface below.

A default_gateway block (within static_routes) supports the following:

A node_interface block (within static_routes) supports the following:

• list - Optional Block
On a multinode site, this list holds the nodes and corresponding networking_interface
See List below.

A list block (within static_routes.node_interface) supports the following:

• interface - Optional Block
Interface. Interface reference on this node
See Interface below.

• node - Optional String
Node. Node name on this site

Static Routes Node Interface List Interface

Section titled “Static Routes Node Interface List Interface”

An interface block (within static_routes.node_interface.list) supports the following:

• namespace - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then namespace will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) namespace

• kind - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then kind will hold the referred object’s kind (e.g. ‘route’)

• tenant - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then tenant will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) tenant

• uid - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then uid will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) uid

A timeouts block supports the following:

• create - Optional String (Defaults to 10 minutes)
Used when creating the resource

• delete - Optional String (Defaults to 10 minutes)
Used when deleting the resource

• read - Optional String (Defaults to 5 minutes)
Used when retrieving the resource

• update - Optional String (Defaults to 10 minutes)
