Synopsis

  • Manages a VRF for an OSPF router.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

auto_cost

string

Specifies the reference bandwidth used to assign OSPF cost. Valid values are an integer, in Mbps, or the keyword ‘default’.

bfd

string

Enables BFD on all OSPF interfaces.

Dependency: ‘’feature bfd’’

Choices:

  • enable

  • disable

default_metric

string

Specify the default Metric value. Valid values are an integer or the keyword ‘default’.

log_adjacency

string

Controls the level of log messages generated whenever a neighbor changes state. Valid values are ‘log’, ‘detail’, and ‘default’.

Choices:

  • log

  • detail

  • default

ospf

string / required

Name of the OSPF instance.

passive_interface

boolean

Setting to yes will suppress routing update on interface.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

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

router_id

string

Router Identifier (ID) of the OSPF router VRF instance.

state

string

State of ospf vrf configuration.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

timer_throttle_lsa_hold

string

Specify the hold interval for rate-limiting Link-State Advertisement (LSA) generation. Valid values are an integer, in milliseconds, or the keyword ‘default’.

timer_throttle_lsa_max

string

Specify the max interval for rate-limiting Link-State Advertisement (LSA) generation. Valid values are an integer, in milliseconds, or the keyword ‘default’.

timer_throttle_lsa_start

string

Specify the start interval for rate-limiting Link-State Advertisement (LSA) generation. Valid values are an integer, in milliseconds, or the keyword ‘default’.

timer_throttle_spf_hold

string

Specify minimum hold time between Shortest Path First (SPF) calculations. Valid values are an integer, in milliseconds, or the keyword ‘default’.

timer_throttle_spf_max

string

Specify the maximum wait time between Shortest Path First (SPF) calculations. Valid values are an integer, in milliseconds, or the keyword ‘default’.

timer_throttle_spf_start

string

Specify initial Shortest Path First (SPF) schedule delay. Valid values are an integer, in milliseconds, or the keyword ‘default’.

vrf

string

Name of the resource instance. Valid value is a string. The name ‘default’ is a valid VRF representing the global OSPF.

Default: “default”

Notes

Note

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

  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS

  • Value default restores params default value, if any. Otherwise it removes the existing param configuration.
