Parameters
Parameter |
Comments |
---|---|
This attribute is used to identify and separate processing VNIs that are associated with a VRF and used for routing. The VRF and VNI specified with this command must match the configuration of the VNI under the VRF. Choices:
|
|
Specifies mechanism for host reachability advertisement. Choices:
|
|
Interface name for the VXLAN Network Virtualization Endpoint. |
|
The multicast group (range) of the VNI. Valid values are string and keyword ‘default’. |
|
Enables multisite ingress replication. Choices:
|
|
Set the ingress-replication static peer list. Valid values are an array, a space-separated string of ip addresses, or the keyword ‘default’. |
|
Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using 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. |
|
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 |
|
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 Choices:
|
|
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. |
|
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 |
|
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). |
|
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 |
|
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). |
|
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:
|
