Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
comment string			Configures a text string comment to be associated with the instance of this object. The provided text string will be configured on the object instance.

extattrs dictionary			Allows for the configuration of Extensible Attributes on the instance of the object. This argument accepts a set of key / value pairs for configuration.
network string / required			Specifies the network to add or remove from the system. The value should use CIDR notation. aliases: name, cidr
network_view string		Default: "default"	Configures the name of the network view to associate with this configured instance.
options list / elements=dictionary			Configures the set of DHCP options to be included as part of the configured network instance. This argument accepts a list of values (see suboptions). When configuring suboptions at least one of name or num must be specified.
	name string		The name of the DHCP option to configure. The standard options are router, router-templates, domain-name-servers, domain-name, broadcast-address, broadcast-address-offset, dhcp-lease-time, and dhcp6.name-servers.

	vendor_class string	Default: "DHCP"	The name of the space this DHCP option is associated to
provider dictionary			A dict object containing connection details.
	host string		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote instance of NIOS WAPI over REST Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_HOST environment variable.
	http_pool_connections integer	Default: 10	Number of pools to be used by the infoblox_client.Connector object. This is passed as-is to the underlying requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter class.
	http_pool_maxsize integer	Default: 10	Maximum number of connections per pool to be used by the infoblox_client.Connector object. This is passed as-is to the underlying requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter class.
	http_request_timeout integer	Default: 10	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT environment variable.
	max_results integer	Default: 1000	Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS environment variable.
	max_retries integer	Default: 3	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES environment variable.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_PASSWORD environment variable.
	silent_ssl_warnings boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Disable urllib3 SSL warnings in the infoblox_client.Connector object. This is passed as-is to the underlying requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter class.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_USERNAME environment variable.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY environment variable. aliases: ssl_verify
	wapi_version string	Default: "2.1"	Specifies the version of WAPI to use Value can also be specified using INFOBLOX_WAP_VERSION environment variable. Until ansible 2.8 the default WAPI was 1.4
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to present, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to absent the value is removed (if necessary) from the device.

Notes

Note

• This module must be run locally, which can be achieved by specifying connection: local.
