Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
comment string	Configures a text string comment to be associated with the instance of this object. The provided text string will be configured on the object instance.
container boolean	If set to true it’ll create the network container to be added or removed from the system. Choices: no yes
extattrs dictionary	Allows for the configuration of Extensible Attributes on the instance of the object. This argument accepts a set of key / value pairs for configuration.
network aliases: name, cidr string / required	Specifies the network to add or remove from the system. The value should use CIDR notation.
network_view string	Configures the name of the network view to associate with this configured instance. Default: “default”
options list / elements=dictionary	Configures the set of DHCP options to be included as part of the configured network instance. This argument accepts a list of values (see suboptions). When configuring suboptions at least one of `name` or `num` must be specified.
name string	The name of the DHCP option to configure. The standard options are `router`, `router-templates`, `domain-name-servers`, `domain-name`, `broadcast-address`, `broadcast-address-offset`, `dhcp-lease-time`, and `dhcp6.name-servers`.
num integer	The number of the DHCP option to configure
use_option boolean	Only applies to a subset of options (see NIOS API documentation) Choices: no yes ← (default)
value string / required	The value of the DHCP option specified by `name`
vendor_class string	The name of the space this DHCP option is associated to Default: “DHCP”
provider dictionary	A dict object containing connection details.
host string	Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote instance of NIOS WAPI over REST Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HOST` environment variable.
http_pool_connections integer	Insert decription here Default: 10
http_pool_maxsize integer	Insert description here Default: 10
http_request_timeout integer	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable. Default: 10
max_results integer	Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS` environment variable. Default: 1000
max_retries integer	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable. Default: 3
password string	Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_PASSWORD` environment variable.
silent_ssl_warnings boolean	Insert description here Choices: no yes ← (default)
username string	Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_USERNAME` environment variable.
validate_certs aliases: ssl_verify boolean	Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY` environment variable. Choices: no ← (default) yes
wapi_version string	Specifies the version of WAPI to use Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_WAP_VERSION` environment variable. Until ansible 2.8 the default WAPI was 1.4 Default: “2.1”
state string	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to `present`, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to `absent` the value is removed (if necessary) from the device. Choices: present ← (default) absent
template string	If set on creation, the network is created according to the values specified in the selected template.
