arista.eos.eos_prefix_lists module – Manages Prefix lists resource module

Note

This module is part of the arista.eos collection (version 6.2.2).

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 arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_prefix_lists.

New in arista.eos 2.2.0

Synopsis 

This module configures and manages the attributes of Prefix lists on Arista EOS platforms.

Aliases: prefix_lists

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A list of dictionary of prefix-list options
afi string / required	The Address Family Indicator (AFI) for the prefix list. Choices: `"ipv4"` `"ipv6"`
prefix_lists list / elements=dictionary	A list of prefix-lists.
entries list / elements=dictionary	List of prefix-lists
action string	action to be performed on the specified path Choices: `"deny"` `"permit"`
address string	ipv4/v6 address in prefix-mask or address-masklen format
match dictionary	match masklen
masklen integer	Mask Length.
operator string	equalto/greater than/lesser than Choices: `"eq"` `"le"` `"ge"`
resequence dictionary	Resequence the list.
default boolean	Resequence with default values (10). Choices: `false` `true`
start_seq integer	Starting sequence number.
step integer	Step to increment the sequence number.
sequence integer	sequence number
name string / required	Name of the 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 EOS device by executing the command show running-config \| section access-list. 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"` `"merged"` ← (default) `"overridden"` `"replaced"` `"gathered"` `"rendered"` `"parsed"`

Notes 

Note

Tested against Arista EOS 4.24.6F
This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.

Return Values 

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Description
after list / elements=string	The resulting configuration model invocation. Returned: when changed Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
before list / elements=string	The configuration prior to the model invocation. Returned: always Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format\n of the parameters above.\n"]`
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: always Sample: `["ip prefix-list v401", "seq 25 deny 45.55.4.0/24", "seq 200 permit 200.11.2.0/24 ge 32", "ip prefix-list v403", "seq 10 deny 10.1.1.0/24"]`
gathered list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data transformed for the running configuration fetched from remote host Returned: When `state` is gathered Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.\n"]`
parsed list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data transformed for the value of `running_config` option Returned: When `state` is parsed Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.\n"]`
rendered list / elements=string	The set of CLI commands generated from the value in `config` option Returned: When `state` is rendered Sample: `["- ip prefix-list v401 - seq 25 deny 45.55.4.0/24 - seq 200 permit 200.11.2.0/24 ge 32 - ip prefix-list v403 - seq 10 deny 10.1.1.0/24\n"]`
