|
|
associated_interfaces
list

|
This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vlan
name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vlan interfaces on device it will result in failure. |

|
|
associated_interfaces
list
/ elements=string
|

|
name
string
|
Name of VLAN or keyword 'default'.
|
||
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. |
|
purge
boolean
|
|
Purge VLANs not defined in the aggregate parameter. This parameter can be used without aggregate as well.
Removal of Vlan 1 is not allowed and will be ignored by purge.
|
|
state
string
|
|
Manage the state of the resource.
|
|
vlan_id
integer
|
Single VLAN ID.
|
||
vlan_range
string
|
Range of VLANs such as 2-10 or 2,5,10-15, etc.
|
||
vlan_state
string
|
|
Manage the vlan operational state of the VLAN
