Requesting the ability to use a port list in terraform for f5networks/bigip provider

[WyrickC]

Hi,

I'm requesting the ability to use a port list in terraform so I can specify a range of ports for my virtual server to listen on. This can be done in the F5 UI but not terraform according to the documentation

Ideally, I would like to be able to do something like this:

resource "bigip_ltm_virtual_server" "VS_EXAMPLE" {
pool = "/Common/POOL_EXAMPLE"
name = "/Common/VS_EXAMPLE"
description = ""
destination = "10.0.0.0"
translate_port = "enabled"
ip_protocol = "any"
port = [514, 12201, 12204, 12205]
}

Any suggestions or workarounds in the meantime?

Hi @WyrickC,

Have you tried using AS3?

[WyrickC]

I have not. Can that be used to JSON port lists for a VS, or even the whole VS config? And were there any plans to add the port list option to terraform in the future? Thanks for the reply

Hi @WyrickC,

Here an example of AS with port list:
https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/declarations/non-http-services.html#creating-port-and-address-lists-for-a-service

Another way of doing the configuration is using traffic matching criteria:

resource "bigip_command" "create-portlist" {
  commands = ["create net port-list /Common/portlist ports add { 80 } ports add { 443 }"]
}
resource "bigip_command" "create_trafficmatchingcriteria" {
  commands = ["create ltm traffic-matching-criteria /Common/test-traffic-matching destination-address-inline 10.0.0.1 destination-port-list /Common/portlist "]
}
resource "bigip_ltm_virtual_server" "VS_EXAMPLE" {
	pool = "/Common/POOL_EXAMPLE"
	name = "/Common/VS_EXAMPLE"
	description = ""
	translate_port = "enabled"
	ip_protocol = "any"
	trafficmatching_criteria = "/Common/test-traffic-matching"
}
