cisco.ios.ios_prefix_lists module – Resource module to configure prefix lists.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 4.6.1).

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.ios.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_prefix_lists.

New in cisco.ios 2.2.0

Synopsis 

This module configures and manages the attributes of prefix list on Cisco IOS.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A list of configurations for Prefix lists.
afi string	The Address Family Indicator (AFI) for the prefix list. Choices: `"ipv4"` `"ipv6"`
prefix_lists list / elements=dictionary	List of Prefix-lists.
description string	Prefix-list specific description
entries list / elements=dictionary	Prefix-lists supported params.
action string	Specify packets to be rejected or forwarded Choices: `"deny"` `"permit"`
description string	Prefix-list specific description Description param at entries level is DEPRECATED New Description is introduced at prefix_lists level, please use the Description param defined at prefix_lists level instead of Description param at entries level, as at this level description option will get removed in a future release.
ge integer	Minimum prefix length to be matched
le integer	Maximum prefix length to be matched
prefix string	IPv4 prefix <network>/<length>, e.g., A.B.C.D/nn IPv6 prefix <network>/<length>, e.g., X:X:X:X::X/<0-128>
sequence integer	sequence number of an entry
name string	Name of a prefix-list
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command sh bgp. 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 The states merged is the default state which merges the want and have config, but for Prefix-List module as the IOS platform doesn’t allow update of Prefix-List over an pre-existing Prefix-List, same way Prefix-Lists resource module will error out for respective scenario and only addition of new Prefix-List over new sequence will be allowed with merge state. The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in `config` option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from `running_config` option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of `running_config` option should be the same format as the output of command sh running-config \| section ^ip prefix-list\|^ipv6 prefix-list executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"gathered"` `"parsed"` `"rendered"`

Note

Tested against Cisco IOSXE Version 17.3 on CML.
This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html
