    • Open browser to http://10.1.10.10.

Note

The bigip_virtual_server module can configure a number of attributes for virtual server. At a minimum, the name is required.

This module is idempotent. Therefore, you can run it over and over again and so-long as no settings have been changed, this module will report no changes.

The module has several more options, all of which can be seen at this link.
