Choices/Defaults |
Comments |
---|---|---|
associated_interfaces
(added in 2.5) |
|
This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vrf
name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vrf interfaces on device it will result in failure. |
auth_pass
|
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli and become: yes with become_pass .For more information please see the IOS Platform Options guide.
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead. |
authorize
|
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli and become: yes .For more information please see the IOS Platform Options guide.
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead. |
delay
(added in 2.4) |
Default:
10
|
Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device.
|
description
|
|
Provides a short description of the VRF definition in the current active configuration. The VRF definition value accepts alphanumeric characters used to provide additional information about the VRF.
|
interfaces
|
|
Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF.
|
name
|
|
The name of the VRF definition to be managed on the remote IOS device. The VRF definition name is an ASCII string name used to uniquely identify the VRF. This argument is mutually exclusive with the
vrfs argument |
provider
|
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli .For more information please see the IOS Platform Options guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
|
username
|
|
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |
authorize
|
|
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead. |
ssh_keyfile
|
|
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
auth_pass
|
|
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable

host
required |
|
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
|
timeout
|
Default:
10
|
Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
|
password
|
|
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. |
port
|
Default:
22
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
|
purge
|
Default:
no
|
Instructs the module to consider the VRF definition absolute. It will remove any previously configured VRFs on the device.
|
rd
|
|
The router-distinguisher value uniquely identifies the VRF to routing processes on the remote IOS system. The RD value takes the form of
A:B where A and B are both numeric values. |
route_both
(added in 2.5) |
|
Adds an export and import list of extended route target communities to the VRF.
|
route_export
(added in 2.5) |
|
Adds an export list of extended route target communities to the VRF.
|
route_import
(added in 2.5) |
|
Adds an import list of extended route target communities to the VRF.
|
state
|
|
Configures the state of the VRF definition as it relates to the device operational configuration. When set to present, the VRF should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the VRF should not be in the device active configuration
|
vrfs
|
|
The set of VRF definition objects to be configured on the remote IOS device. Ths list entries can either be the VRF name or a hash of VRF definitions and attributes. This argument is mutually exclusive with the
name argument. |
