Synopsis¶
This module provides declarative management of node system attributes on Cisco IOS XR devices. It provides an option to configure host system parameters or remove those parameters from the device active configuration.
Note
This module has a corresponding action plugin.
Requirements¶
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.
ncclient >= 0.5.3 when using netconf
lxml >= 4.1.1 when using netconf
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
domain_name
string
|
Configure the IP domain name on the remote device to the provided value. Value should be in the dotted name form and will be appended to the
hostname to create a fully-qualified domain name. |
||
domain_search
list
/ elements=string
|
Provides the list of domain suffixes to append to the hostname for the purpose of doing name resolution. This argument accepts a list of names and will be reconciled with the current active configuration on the running node.
|
||
hostname
string
|
Configure the device hostname parameter. This option takes an ASCII string value.
|
||
lookup_enabled
boolean
|
|
Provides administrative control for enabling or disabling DNS lookups. When this argument is set to True, lookups are performed and when it is set to False, lookups are not performed.
|
|
lookup_source
string
|
The
lookup_source argument provides one or more source interfaces to use for performing DNS lookups. The interface provided in lookup_source must be a valid interface configured on the device. |
||
name_servers
list
/ elements=string
|
The
name_serves argument accepts a list of DNS name servers by way of either FQDN or IP address to use to perform name resolution lookups. This argument accepts wither a list of DNS servers See examples. |
||
provider
dictionary
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli .For more information please see the Network Guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
|
||
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 value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. |
||
port
integer
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
|
||
ssh_keyfile
path
|
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
||
timeout
integer
|
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
|
|
Specifies the type of connection based transport.
|
|
username
string
|
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |
||
state
string
|
|
State of the configuration values in the device's current active configuration. When set to present, the values should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to absent the values should not be in the device active configuration
|
|
vrf
string
|
Default: "default"
|
VRF name for domain services
|
Notes¶
Note
This module works with connection
network_cli
andnetconf
. See the IOS-XR Platform Options.Tested against IOS XRv 6.1.3
name-servers state=absent operation with
netconf
transport is a success, but with rpc-error. This is due to XR platform issue. Recommended to use ignore_errors option with the task as a workaround.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.
