Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
dns_configuration
dictionary
Domain Name System(DNS) settings.
dns_domain_name
string
Static DNS domain name
This is applicable when use_dhcp_for_dns_domain_name is false.
dns_name
string
DNS name for hostname
This is applicable when register_with_dns is true.
register_with_dns
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Register/Unregister dns_name on the DNS Server.
This option cannot be updated if vLAN configuration changes.
use_dhcp_for_dns_domain_name
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Get the dns_domain_name using a DHCP server.
enable_nic
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Enable or disable Network Interface Card (NIC) configuration.
hostname
string / required
Target IP address or hostname.
interface_name
string
If there are multiple interfaces, network configuration changes can be applied to a single interface using the interface name of the NIC.
If this option is not specified, Primary interface is chosen by default.
ipv4_configuration
dictionary
IPv4 network configuration.
Warning Ensure that you have an alternate interface to access OpenManage Enterprise as these options can change the current IPv4 address for hostname.
enable
boolean / required
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable or disable access to the network using IPv4.
enable_dhcp
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable or disable the automatic request to get an IPv4 address from the IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server
If enable_dhcp option is true, OpenManage Enterprise retrieves the IP configuration—IPv4 address, subnet mask, and gateway from a DHCP server on the existing network.
static_alternate_dns_server
string
Static IPv4 DNS alternate server
This option is applicable when use_dhcp_for_dns_server_names is false.
static_gateway
string
Static IPv4 gateway address
This option is applicable when enable_dhcp is false.
static_ip_address
string
Static IPv4 address
This option is applicable when enable_dhcp is false.
static_preferred_dns_server
string
Static IPv4 DNS preferred server
This option is applicable when use_dhcp_for_dns_server_names is false.
static_subnet_mask
string
Static IPv4 subnet mask address
This option is applicable when enable_dhcp is false.
use_dhcp_for_dns_server_names
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
This option allows to automatically request and obtain a DNS server IPv4 address from the DHCP server.
This option is applicable when enable_dhcp is true.
ipv6_configuration
dictionary
IPv6 network configuration.
Warning Ensure that you have an alternate interface to access OpenManage Enterprise as these options can change the current IPv6 address for hostname.
enable
boolean / required
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable or disable access to the network using the IPv6.
enable_auto_configuration
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable or disable the automatic request to get an IPv6 address from the IPv6 DHCP server or router advertisements(RA)
If enable_auto_configuration is true, OME retrieves IP configuration-IPv6 address, prefix, and gateway, from a DHCPv6 server on the existing network
static_alternate_dns_server
string
Static IPv6 DNS alternate server
This option is applicable when use_dhcp_for_dns_server_names is false.
static_gateway
string
Static IPv6 gateway address
This option is applicable when enable_auto_configuration is false.
static_ip_address
string
Static IPv6 address
This option is applicable when enable_auto_configuration is false.
static_preferred_dns_server
string
Static IPv6 DNS preferred server
This option is applicable when use_dhcp_for_dns_server_names is false.

Static IPv6 prefix length
This option is applicable when enable_auto_configuration is false.
use_dhcp_for_dns_server_names
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
This option allows to automatically request and obtain a DNS server IPv6 address from the DHCP server.
This option is applicable when enable_auto_configuration is true
management_vlan
dictionary
vLAN configuration.
These settings are applicable for OpenManage Enterprise Modular.
enable_vlan
boolean / required
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable or disable vLAN for management.
The vLAN configuration cannot be updated if the register_with_dns field under dns_configuration is true.
WARNING Ensure that the network cable is plugged to the correct port after the vLAN configuration changes have been made. If not, the configuration change may not be effective.
vlan_id
integer
vLAN ID.
This option is applicable when enable_vlan is true.
password
string / required
Target user password.
port
integer
Default:
443
Target HTTPS port.
reboot_delay
integer
The time in seconds, after which settings are applied.
This option is not mandatory.
username
string / required
Target username.

Notes

Note

  • The configuration changes can only be applied to one interface at a time.

  • The system management consoles might be unreachable for some time after the configuration changes are applied.

  • This module does not support check_mode.
