A dict object containing connection details.
|
||
auth_pass
string
|
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
|
|
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
|
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 eapi 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
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or eapi.
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
path
|
Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
||
timeout

|
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.
|
||
transport
string
|
|
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
|
|
use_proxy
boolean
|
|
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=eapi . If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. |
