Synopsis

  • Manages configuration of an OSPF interface instance.

Parameters

Parameter
Choices/Defaults
Comments
area
required
Ospf area associated with this cisco_interface_ospf instance. Valid values are a string, formatted as an IP address (i.e. "0.0.0.0") or as an integer.
cost
The cost associated with this cisco_interface_ospf instance.
dead_interval
Time interval an ospf neighbor waits for a hello packet before tearing down adjacencies. Valid values are an integer or the keyword 'default'.
hello_interval
Time between sending successive hello packets. Valid values are an integer or the keyword 'default'.
interface
required
Name of this cisco_interface resource. Valid value is a string.
message_digest
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enables or disables the usage of message digest authentication.
message_digest_algorithm_type
    Choices:
  • md5
  • default
Algorithm used for authentication among neighboring routers within an area. Valid values are 'md5' and 'default'.
message_digest_encryption_type
    Choices:
  • cisco_type_7
  • 3des
  • default
Specifies the scheme used for encrypting message_digest_password. Valid values are '3des' or 'cisco_type_7' encryption or 'default'.
message_digest_key_id
Md5 authentication key-id associated with the ospf instance. If this is present, message_digest_encryption_type, message_digest_algorithm_type and message_digest_password are mandatory. Valid value is an integer and 'default'.
message_digest_password
Specifies the message_digest password. Valid value is a string.
ospf
required
Name of the ospf instance.
passive_interface
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Setting to true will prevent this interface from receiving HELLO packets.
provider
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli.
This option is only required if you are using NX-API.
For more information please see the NXOS 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 either the CLI login or the nxapi authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
 
ssh_keyfile
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for the cli transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
 
use_proxy
(added in 2.5)
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored.
 
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
(added in 2.3)
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. NX-API can be slow to return on long-running commands (sh mac, sh bgp, etc).
 
use_ssl
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored.
 
password
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or nxapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
 
validate_certs
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not nxapi, this value is ignored.
 
port
Default:
0 (use common port)
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or nxapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443).
 
transport
required
Default:
cli
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or nxapi.
state
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • Default, where supported, restores params default value.
  • To remove an existing authentication configuration you should use message_digest_key_id=default plus all other options matching their existing values.
  • state=absent removes the whole OSPF interface configuration.
  • For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the Cisco integration page.
