running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command sh running-config | section ^router bgp.

The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module’s argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.

state

string

The state the configuration should be left in

The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device.

The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required.

The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result.

The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config | include ip route|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key

Description

after

dictionary

The resulting configuration after module execution.

Returned: when changed

Sample: “This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n”

before

dictionary

The configuration prior to the module execution.

Returned: when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged

Sample: “This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n”

commands

list / elements=string

The set of commands pushed to the remote device.

Returned: when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged

Sample: [“router bgp 65000”, “address-family ipv4 multicast”, “table-map test_tableMap filter”, “network 1.1.1.1 mask 255.255.255.255 route-map test”, “aggregate-address 192.0.3.1 255.255.255.255 as-confed-set”]

gathered

list / elements=string

Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data.

Returned: when state is gathered

Sample: “This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n”

parsed

list / elements=string

The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec.

Returned: when state is parsed

Sample: “This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n”

rendered

list / elements=string

The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline).

Returned: when state is rendered

Sample: [“router bgp 65000”, “address-family ipv4 multicast”, “table-map test_tableMap filter”, “network 1.1.1.1 mask 255.255.255.255 route-map test”, “aggregate-address 192.0.3.1 255.255.255.255 as-confed-set”]
