Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
admin_state - |
| Administrative state of the VRF. | |
aggregate - added in 2.5 | List of VRFs definitions. | ||
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. | ||
delay - | Default: 10 | Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state arguments. | |
description - | Description of the VRF or keyword 'default'. | ||
interfaces - added in 2.5 | List of interfaces to check the VRF has been configured correctly or keyword 'default'. | ||
name - / required | Name of VRF to be managed. aliases: vrf | ||
provider dictionary | 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. | ||
auth_pass string added in 2.5.3 | 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 boolean added in 2.5.3 |
| 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. | |
host string / 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. | ||
password string | 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. | ||
port integer | 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). | |
ssh_keyfile string | 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. | ||
timeout integer | 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). | |
transport string / required |
| 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. | |
use_proxy boolean added in 2.5 |
| If no , the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. | |
use_ssl boolean |
| Configures the transport to use SSL if set to yes only when the transport=nxapi , otherwise this value is ignored. | |
username string | 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. | ||
validate_certs boolean |
| 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. | |
purge boolean added in 2.5 |
| Purge VRFs not defined in the aggregate parameter. | |
rd - | VPN Route Distinguisher (RD). Valid values are a string in one of the route-distinguisher formats (ASN2:NN, ASN4:NN, or IPV4:NN); the keyword 'auto', or the keyword 'default'. | ||
state - |
| Manages desired state of the resource. | |
vni - | Specify virtual network identifier. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'. |
Note
vrf
name must be shorter than 32 chars.vrf=NTC
will create a VRF named NTC, but running it again with vrf=ntc
will not cause a configuration change.- name: Ensure ntc VRF exists on switch nxos_vrf: name: ntc description: testing state: present - name: Aggregate definition of VRFs nxos_vrf: aggregate: - { name: test1, description: Testing, admin_state: down } - { name: test2, interfaces: Ethernet1/2 } - name: Aggregate definitions of VRFs with Purge nxos_vrf: aggregate: - { name: ntc1, description: purge test1 } - { name: ntc2, description: purge test2 } state: present purge: yes - name: Delete VRFs exist on switch nxos_vrf: aggregate: - { name: ntc1 } - { name: ntc2 } state: absent - name: Assign interfaces to VRF declaratively nxos_vrf: name: test1 interfaces: - Ethernet2/3 - Ethernet2/5 - name: Check interfaces assigned to VRF nxos_vrf: name: test1 associated_interfaces: - Ethernet2/3 - Ethernet2/5 - name: Ensure VRF is tagged with interface Ethernet2/5 only (Removes from Ethernet2/3) nxos_vrf: name: test1 interfaces: - Ethernet2/5 - name: Delete VRF nxos_vrf: name: ntc state: absent
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
commands list | always | commands sent to the device Sample: ['vrf context ntc', 'no shutdown', 'interface Ethernet1/2', 'no switchport', 'vrf member test2'] |
