+module: bigip_firewall_rule
+short_description: Manage AFM Firewall rules
+description:
+  - Manages firewall rules in an AFM firewall policy. New rules will always be added to the
+    end of the policy. Rules can be re-ordered using the C(bigip_security_policy) module.
+    Rules can also be pre-ordered using the C(bigip_security_policy) module and then later
+    updated using the C(bigip_firewall_rule) module.
+version_added: 2.7
+options:
+  name:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the name of the rule.
+    required: True
+  parent_policy:
+    description:
+      - The policy which contains the rule to be managed.
+      - One of either C(parent_policy) or C(parent_rule_list) is required.
+  parent_rule_list:
+    description:
+      - The rule list which contains the rule to be managed.
+      - One of either C(parent_policy) or C(parent_rule_list) is required.
+  action:
+    description:
+      - Specifies the action for the firewall rule.
+      - When C(accept), allows packets with the specified source, destination,
+        and protocol to pass through the firewall. Packets that match the rule,
+        and are accepted, traverse the system as if the firewall is not present.
+      - When C(drop), drops packets with the specified source, destination, and
+        protocol. Dropping a packet is a silent action with no notification to
+        the source or destination systems. Dropping the packet causes the connection
+        to be retried until the retry threshold is reached.
+      - When C(reject), rejects packets with the specified source, destination,
+        and protocol. When a packet is rejected the firewall sends a destination
+        unreachable message to the sender.
+      - When C(accept-decisively), allows packets with the specified source,
+        destination, and protocol to pass through the firewall, and does not require
+        any further processing by any of the further firewalls. Packets that match
+        the rule, and are accepted, traverse the system as if the firewall is not
+        present. If the Rule List is applied to a virtual server, management IP,
+        or self IP firewall rule, then Accept Decisively is equivalent to Accept.
+      - When creating a new rule, if this parameter is not provided, the default is
+        C(reject).
+    choices:
+      - accept
+      - drop
+      - reject
+      - accept-decisively
+  status:
+    description:
+      - Indicates the activity state of the rule or rule list.
+      - When C(disabled), specifies that the rule or rule list does not apply at all.
+      - When C(enabled), specifies that the system applies the firewall rule or rule
+        list to the given context and addresses.
+      - When C(scheduled), specifies that the system applies the rule or rule list
+        according to the specified schedule.
+      - When creating a new rule, if this parameter is not provided, the default
+        is C(enabled).
+    choices:
+      - enabled
+      - disabled
+      - scheduled
+  schedule:
+    description:

+            a hyphen. The port to the left of the hyphen should be less than the
+            port to the right.

+  destination:
+    description:
+      - Specifies packet destinations to which the rule applies.
