Modules for virtual IPs

[danielpodwysocki]

Support for virtual IPs would be incredibly useful, helping to get one step closer to fully managing PFSense via Ansible.

This is something that'd be awesome for environments I work with - would be happy to work on adding this in and try submitting a PR for it. Let me know if that'd be a useful contribution and I'll start looking into it.

I would be happy to add such a contribution. Thank you. Let me know if you have any questions. I need to move things to this repo, but for now https://github.com/opoplawski/ansible-pfsense/wiki/Developer-Notes might help get you started.

I would also be very interested in this module - is there any update?

Also registering my interest. I will try to manually add the commit I see for this, but would like it in base.

Hello, does anyone know why the default generation is for user module like that?

TODO - Add validation and parsing methods for parameters that require it

VIRTUAL_IP_ARG_ROUTE = dict(

TODO - These are just examples

authorizedkeys=dict(parse=p2o_ssh_pub_key),
password=dict(validate=validate_password),

)

VIRTUAL_IP_PHP_COMMAND_SET = r'''
require_once("filter.inc");
if (filter_configure() == 0) { clear_subsystem_dirty(''); }
'''

""" module managing pfsense virtual_ips """

@KhFrikha I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. The generated module requires a decent amount of tweaking. It tries to give some examples of things you might need to do. I'll also note that you seem to have generated a config module, which isn't appropriate for virtual IPs.
