Synopsis ¶

Create or Delete routers from OpenStack. Although Neutron allows routers to share the same name, this module enforces name uniqueness to be more user friendly.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

openstacksdk
python >= 2.7

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_state_up boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Desired admin state of the created or existing router.
api_timeout integer		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary		Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone -		Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
client_cert string		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw		Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
enable_snat boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable Source NAT (SNAT) attribute.
external_fixed_ips -		The IP address parameters for the external gateway network. Each is a dictionary with the subnet name or ID (subnet) and the IP address to assign on the subnet (ip). If no IP is specified, one is automatically assigned from that subnet.
interface string added in 2.3	Choices: admin internal public ←	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
interfaces -		List of subnets to attach to the router internal interface. Default gateway associated with the subnet will be automatically attached with the router's internal interface. In order to provide an ip address different from the default gateway,parameters are passed as dictionary with keys as network name or ID(net), subnet name or ID (subnet) and the IP of port (portip) from the network. User defined portip is often required when a multiple router need to be connected to a single subnet for which the default gateway has been already used.
name - / required		Name to be give to the router
network -		Unique name or ID of the external gateway network. required interfaces or enable_snat are provided.
project - added in 2.2		Unique name or ID of the project.
region_name string		Name of the region.
state -	Choices: present ← absent	Indicate desired state of the resource
timeout integer	Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to `yes`. aliases: verify
wait boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes ¶

Note

The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

# Update existing router1 external gateway to include the IPv6 subnet.
# Note that since 'interfaces' is not provided, any existing internal
# interfaces on an existing router will be left intact.
