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.

Aliases: prefix_lists

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"
