Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of static IP routes on Vyatta VyOS network devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_distance		Admin distance of the static route.
aggregate		List of static route definitions
mask		Network prefix mask of the static route.
next_hop		Next hop IP of the static route.
prefix		Network prefix of the static route. `mask` param should be ignored if `prefix` is provided with `mask` value `prefix/mask`.
provider		Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. For more information please see the Network 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.
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.
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.
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.
state	Choices: present ← absent	State of the static route configuration.
