cisco.nxos.nxos_pim_interface module – Manages PIM interface configuration.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 3.2.0).

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 cisco.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_pim_interface.

New in cisco.nxos 1.0.0

Synopsis 

Manages PIM interface configuration settings.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
bfd string	Enables BFD for PIM at the interface level. This overrides the bfd variable set at the pim global level. Valid values are ‘enable’, ‘disable’ or ‘default’. Dependency: ‘’feature bfd’’ Choices: `"enable"` `"disable"` `"default"`
border boolean	Configures interface to be a boundary of a PIM domain. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
dr_prio string	Configures priority for PIM DR election on interface.
hello_auth_key string	Authentication for hellos on this interface.
hello_interval integer	Hello interval in milliseconds or seconds for this interface. Use the option hello_interval_ms to specify if the given value is in milliseconds or seconds. The default is seconds.
hello_interval_ms boolean added in cisco.nxos 2.0.0	Specifies that the hello_interval is in milliseconds. When set to True, this indicates that the user is providing the hello_interval in milliseconds and hence, no conversion is required. Choices: `false` `true`
interface string / required	Full name of the interface such as Ethernet1/33.
jp_policy_in string	Policy for join-prune messages (inbound).
jp_policy_out string	Policy for join-prune messages (outbound).
jp_type_in string	Type of policy mapped to `jp_policy_in`. Choices: `"prefix"` `"routemap"`
jp_type_out string	Type of policy mapped to `jp_policy_out`. Choices: `"prefix"` `"routemap"`
neighbor_policy string	Configures a neighbor policy for filtering adjacencies.
neighbor_type string	Type of policy mapped to neighbor_policy. Choices: `"prefix"` `"routemap"`
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: `false` ← (default) `true`
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: `false` `true` ← (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: `false` ← (default) `true`
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: `false` ← (default) `true`
sparse boolean	Enable/disable sparse-mode on the interface. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
state string	Manages desired state of the resource. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"` `"default"`

Notes 

Note

Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
Unsupported for Cisco MDS
When state=default, supported params will be reset to a default state. These include dr_prio, hello_auth_key, hello_interval, jp_policy_out, jp_policy_in, jp_type_in, jp_type_out, border, neighbor_policy, neighbor_type.
The hello_auth_key param is not idempotent.
hello_auth_key only supports clear text passwords.
When state=absent, pim interface configuration will be set to defaults and pim-sm will be disabled on the interface.
PIM must be enabled on the device to use this module.
This module is for Layer 3 interfaces.
