running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | section access-list.

The states replaced and overridden have identical behaviour for this module.

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.

Choices:

  • "deleted"

  • "rendered"

  • "parsed"

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Arista EOS 4.24.6M

  • This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.
