Synopsis

Manages VTP domain configuration.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
domain - / required			VTP domain name.
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	Choices: no ← yes	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	Choices: cli ← nxapi	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	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, the environment variables `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` will be ignored.
	use_ssl boolean	Choices: no ← yes	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	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.

Notes

Note

Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
VTP feature must be active on the device to use this module.
This module is used to manage only VTP domain names.
VTP domain names are case-sensible.
If it’s never been configured before, VTP version is set to 1 by default. Otherwise, it leaves the previous configured version untouched. Use nxos_vtp_version to change it.
Use this in combination with nxos_vtp_password and nxos_vtp_version to fully manage VTP operations.
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.

Examples

# ENSURE VTP DOMAIN IS CONFIGURED
- nxos_vtp_domain:

    password: "{{ pwd }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

existing dictionary	always	k/v pairs of existing vtp domain Sample: {'domain': 'testing', 'version': '2', 'vtp_password': ''}
proposed dictionary	always	k/v pairs of parameters passed into module Sample: {'domain': 'ntc'}
updates list	always	command sent to the device Sample: ['vtp domain ntc']
