Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary of static route options.
address_families
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary specifying the address family to which the static route(s) belong.
afi
string / required
    Choices:
  • ipv4
  • ipv6
Specifies the top level address family indicator.
routes
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary that specifies the static route configurations.
dest
string / required
An IPv4 or IPv6 address in CIDR notation that specifies the destination network for the static route.
next_hops
list / elements=dictionary
Next hops to the specified destination.
admin_distance
integer
The administrative distance for this static route.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
description
string
Specifies the description for this static route.
dest_vrf
string
The destination VRF.
forward_router_address
string
The IP address of the next hop that can be used to reach the destination network.
interface
string
The interface to use to reach the destination.
metric
integer
Specifes the metric for this static route.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
tag
integer
Specifies a numeric tag for this static route.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
track
string
Specifies the object to be tracked.
This enables object tracking for static routes.
tunnel_id
integer
Specifies a tunnel id for the route.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
vrflabel
integer
Specifies the VRF label for this static route.
Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
safi
string / required
    Choices:
  • unicast
  • multicast
Specifies the subsequent address family indicator.
vrf
string
The VRF to which the static route(s) belong.
running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS-XR device by executing the command show running-config router static.
The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state
string
    Choices:
  • merged ←
  • replaced
  • overridden
  • deleted
  • gathered
  • rendered
  • parsed
The state the configuration should be left in.
