  • It might be a caching issue. Try deleting the terraform directory and lock file and then try terraform init command again. Let me know how it goes. 

    Cheers,

        It says parameter is incorrect in the ending of the error. 

        Below file and folder have deleted and gave terraform init then terraform plan command executed but no luck

         

  • I found it. The script is fine but need to add the resource module what we need to create using terraform. After added below steps in the existing script and it started working, So learning here using terraform to connect F5 will not give any message like " the device is connected" More over i didn't define the SSH or https port to the script that should be also considered one. 

    resource "bigip_ltm_node" "node" {
      name             = "/Common/terraform_node1"
      address          = "192.168.30.1"
      connection_limit = "0"
      dynamic_ratio    = "1"
      monitor          = "/Common/icmp"
      description      = "Test-Node"
      rate_limit       = "disabled"
      fqdn {
        address_family = "ipv4"
        interval       = "3000"
      }
    }

    This is a whole script 

     

    variable hostname {}
    variable username {}
    variable password {}
    terraform {
      required_providers {
        bigip = {
          source = "f5networks/bigip"
          version = "1.13.0"
        }
      }
      }
    provider "bigip" {
      address  = var.hostname
      username = var.username
      password = var.password
    }
    resource "bigip_ltm_node" "node" {
      name             = "/Common/terraform_node1"
      address          = "192.168.30.1"
      connection_limit = "0"
      dynamic_ratio    = "1"
      monitor          = "/Common/icmp"
      description      = "Test-Node"
      rate_limit       = "disabled"
      fqdn {
        address_family = "ipv4"
        interval       = "3000"
      }
    }
     Verified in F5 and it is created a node using terraform.
