vyos.vyos.vyos_static_routes module – Static routes resource module

Note

This module is part of the vyos.vyos collection (version 2.8.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install vyos.vyos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: vyos.vyos.vyos_static_routes.

New in version 1.0.0: of vyos.vyos

Synopsis

  • This module manages attributes of static routes on VyOS network devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A provided static route configuration.

address_families

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary specifying the address family to which the static route(s) belong.

afi

string / required

Specifies the type of route.

Choices:

  • ipv4

  • ipv6

routes

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary that specify the static route configurations.

blackhole_config

dictionary

Configured to silently discard packets.

distance

integer

Distance for the route.

type

string

This is to configure only blackhole.

dest

string / required

An IPv4/v6 address in CIDR notation that specifies the destination network for the static route.

next_hops

list / elements=dictionary

Next hops to the specified destination.

admin_distance

integer

Distance value for the route.

enabled

boolean

Disable IPv4/v6 next-hop static route.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

forward_router_address

string / required

The IP address of the next hop that can be used to reach the destination network.

interface

string

Name of the outgoing interface.

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the VyOS device by executing the command show configuration commands | grep static route.

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 of the configuration after module completion.

Choices:

  • merged ← (default)

  • replaced

  • overridden

  • deleted

  • gathered

  • rendered

  • parsed
