Synopsis 

This module manages ntp configuration on devices running Cisco NX-OS.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config dictionary	A dict of ntp configuration.
access_group dictionary	NTP access-group.
match_all boolean	Scan ACLs present in all ntp access groups. Choices: no yes
peer list / elements=dictionary	Access-group peer.
access_list string	Name of access list.
query_only list / elements=dictionary	Access-group query-only.
access_list string	Name of access list.
serve list / elements=dictionary	Access-group serve.
access_list string	Name of access list.
serve_only list / elements=dictionary	Access-group serve-only.
access_list string	Name of access list.
allow dictionary	Enable/Disable the packets.
control dictionary	Control mode packets.
rate_limit integer	Rate-limit delay.
private boolean	Enable/Disable Private mode packets. Choices: no yes
authenticate boolean	Enable/Disable authentication. Choices: no yes
authentication_keys list / elements=dictionary	NTP authentication key.
encryption integer	0 for Clear text 7 for Encrypted
id integer	Authentication key number (range 1-65535).
key string	Authentication key.
logging boolean	Enable/Disable logging of NTPD Events. Choices: no yes
master dictionary	Act as NTP master clock.
stratum integer	Stratum number.
passive boolean	NTP passive command. Choices: no yes
peers list / elements=dictionary	NTP Peers.
key_id integer	Keyid to be used while communicating to this server.
maxpoll integer	Maximum interval to poll a peer. Poll interval in secs to a power of 2.
minpoll integer	Minimum interval to poll a peer. Poll interval in secs to a power of 2.
peer string	Hostname/IP address of the NTP Peer.
prefer boolean	Preferred Server. Choices: no yes
vrf aliases: use_vrf string	Display per-VRF information.
servers list / elements=dictionary	NTP servers.
key_id integer	Keyid to be used while communicating to this server.
maxpoll integer	Maximum interval to poll a peer. Poll interval in secs to a power of 2.
minpoll integer	Minimum interval to poll a peer. Poll interval in secs to a power of 2.
prefer boolean	Preferred Server. Choices: no yes
server string	Hostname/IP address of the NTP Peer.
vrf aliases: use_vrf string	Display per-VRF information.
source string	Source of NTP packets.
source_interface string	Source interface sending NTP packets.
trusted_keys list / elements=dictionary	NTP trusted-key number.
key_id integer	Trusted-Key number.
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 command show running-config ntp. 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 replaced and overridden have identical behaviour for this module. Please refer to examples for more details. Choices: merged ← (default) replaced overridden deleted parsed gathered rendered

Note

Tested against NX-OS 9.3.6.
This module works with connection network_cli and httpapi.

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: [“ntp master stratum 2”, “ntp peer 198.51.100.1 use-vrf test maxpoll 7”, “ntp authentication-key 10 md5 wawyhanx2 7”, “ntp access-group peer PeerAcl1”, “ntp access-group peer PeerAcl2”, “ntp access-group query-only QueryAcl1”]
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: [“ntp master stratum 2”, “ntp peer 198.51.100.1 use-vrf test maxpoll 7”, “ntp authentication-key 10 md5 wawyhanx2 7”, “ntp access-group peer PeerAcl1”, “ntp access-group peer PeerAcl2”, “ntp access-group query-only QueryAcl1”]
