Parameters

Parameter	Comments
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 https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_nxos.html. 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. Choices: no ← (default) yes
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. Choices: cli ← (default) nxapi
use_proxy boolean	If no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. Choices: no yes ← (default)
use_ssl boolean	Configures the transport to use SSL if set to yes only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored. Choices: no ← (default) yes
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. Choices: no ← (default) yes
version string / required	VTP version number. Choices: 1 2

Notes

Note

• Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL

• Unsupported for Cisco MDS

• VTP feature must be active on the device to use this module.

• This module is used to manage only VTP version.

• Use this in combination with cisco.nxos.nxos_vtp_password and cisco.nxos.nxos_vtp_version to fully manage VTP operations.

• For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide

• For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide

• For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the Cisco integration page.

Examples

# ENSURE VTP VERSION IS 2
- cisco.nxos.nxos_vtp_version:
    version: 2
    host: '{{ inventory_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ un }}'
    password: '{{ pwd }}'

Return Values

end_state dictionary	k/v pairs of vtp after module execution Returned: always Sample: {“domain”: “testing”, “version”: “2”, “vtp_password”: “”}
existing dictionary	k/v pairs of existing vtp Returned: always Sample: {“domain”: “testing”, “version”: “1”, “vtp_password”: “”}
proposed dictionary	k/v pairs of parameters passed into module Returned: always Sample: {“version”: “2”}
updates list / elements=string	command sent to the device Returned: always Sample: [“vtp version 2”]
