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
