Is there a way to reboot the BigIP through an ansible Playbook? This is in the case of installing a license remotely from an ansible controller, then sending a command to the BigIP to reboot it to reload the license properly. How might this be done?

    Hi Bret, you may want to use the command "

    reloadlic
    " to reload a new license file. Perhaps the provision of new features/modules may require a "
    reboot
    " or "
    shutdown -r now
    ". Cheers, Stephan

    Thank you, that leads me in a different direction.
