|
||
neighbor
string
/ required
|
Neighbor Identifier. Valid values are string. Neighbors may use IPv4 or IPv6 notation, with or without prefix length.

provider
dictionary
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli .Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using
connection: httpapi for NX-API.This option will be removed in a release after 2022-06-01.
For more information please see the NXOS Platform Options guide.
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 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
|
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
|
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
|
|
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
|
|
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=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
|
|
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. |
|
pwd
string
|
Specify the password for neighbor. Valid value is string.
|
||
pwd_type

Specify the encryption type the password will use. Valid values are '3des' or 'cisco_type_7' encryption or keyword 'default'.
|
|
remote_as
string

Specify Autonomous System Number of the neighbor. Valid values are String or Integer in ASPLAIN or ASDOT notation, or 'default', which means not to configure it.
|
||
remove_private_as
string
|
|
Specify the config to remove private AS number from outbound updates. Valid values are 'enable' to enable this config, 'disable' to disable this config, 'all' to remove all private AS number, or 'replace-as', to replace the private AS number.
|
|
shutdown
boolean
|
|
Configure to administratively shutdown this neighbor.
|
|
state
string
|
|
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
|
|
suppress_4_byte_as
boolean
|
|
Configure to suppress 4-byte AS Capability.
|
|
timers_holdtime
string

|
||
timers_keepalive
string
|
Specify keepalive timer value. Valid values are integers between 0 and 3600 in terms of seconds, or 'default', which is 60.
|
||
transport_passive_only
boolean
|
|
Specify whether or not to only allow passive connection setup. Valid values are 'true', 'false', and 'default', which defaults to 'false'. This property can only be configured when the neighbor is in 'ip' address format without prefix length.
|
|
update_source
string
|
Specify source interface of BGP session and updates.
|
||
vrf
string
|
Default: "default"
|
Name of the VRF. The name 'default' is a valid VRF representing the global bgp.

Notes¶
Note
Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
state=absent
removes the whole BGP neighbor configuration.Default, where supported, restores params default value.
