Synopsis 

This module configures and manages the attributes of static routes on Cisco NX-OS platforms.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A list of configurations for static routes
address_families list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary specifying the address family to which the static route(s) belong.
afi string / required	Specifies the top level address family indicator. Choices: ipv4 ipv6
routes list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary that specifies the static route configurations
dest string / required	Destination prefix of static route The address format is <ipv4/v6 address>/<mask> The mask is number in range 0-32 for IPv4 and in range 0-128 for IPv6
next_hops list / elements=dictionary	Details of route to be taken
admin_distance integer	Preference or administrative distance of route (range 1-255)
dest_vrf string	VRF of the destination
forward_router_address string	IP address of the next hop router
interface string	Outgoing interface to take. For anything except ‘Null0’, then next hop IP address should also be configured.
route_name string	Name of the static route
tag integer	Route tag value (numeric)
track integer	Track value (range 1 - 512). Track must already be configured on the device before adding the route.
vrf string	The VRF to which the static route(s) belong
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the following commands in order show running-config \| include ‘^ip(v6* route’) and show running-config \| section ‘^vrf context’. 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 Choices: deleted merged ← (default) overridden replaced gathered rendered parsed

Notes 

Note

Tested against NX-OS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
Unsupported for Cisco MDS
When a route is configured for a non-existent VRF, the VRF is created and the route is added to it.
When deleting routes for a VRF, all routes inside the VRF are deleted, but the VRF is not deleted.

Return Values 

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

Key	Description
after list / elements=string	The resulting configuration model invocation. Returned: when changed Sample: “The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n”
before list / elements=string	The configuration prior to the model invocation. Returned: always Sample: “The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n”
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: always Sample: [“ip route 192.0.2.48/28 192.0.2.12 Ethernet1/2 name sample_route”, “ipv6 route 2001:db8:3000::/36 2001:db8:200:2::2”, “vrf context test”, “ip route 192.0.2.48/28 192.0.2.121”]
