Source code

from import BigIP

import requests sess = requests.Session() adapter = requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter(max_retries = 20) sess.mount('https://10.1.1.241', adapter)

bigip = BigIP("10.1.1.241", "admin", "admin")

You can use the bigsuds module

I found out that the network connection was failing because of the proxy. I set the proxy using the following code and it was able to make a connection. But how do I get the BIGIP to use the proxy setting?

from import BigIP

import urllib2 proxy = urllib2.ProxyHandler({'http': '70.10.15.10:8080'}) opener = urllib2.build_opener(proxy) urllib2.install_opener(opener) f=urllib2.urlopen('https://192.168.199.241') print f.read(100)

bigip = BigIP("192.168.199.241", "admin", "admin")

Similar issue was faced when Ansible version was upgraded from version 2.3 to 2.4.

This was the error faced:

"module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent cmp/ansible_TEdNxx/ansible_module_bigip_pool.py\", line 237, in \n    from ansible.module_utils.f5_utils import (\nImportError: cannotexpectedHTTPError\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MODULE FAILURE", "rc": 0}
An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ImportError: cannot import name iControlUnex

Fix is by installing f5-sdk. You can do a pip install f5-sdk. Somehow this became a requirement after updating Ansible to version 2.4

    [root@ansible-controller f5] pip install f5-sdk
    Collecting f5-sdk
      Downloading f5-sdk-3.0.6.tar.gz (141kB)

    Successfully installed enum-compat-0.0.2 eventlet-0.21.0 f5-icontrol-rest-1.3.4 f5-sdk-3.0.6 greenlet-0.4.12

I updated my 2.4 version to below and still getting the icontrol error.

f5-icontrol-rest==1.3.4 f5-sdk==3.0.6
