cisco.ios.ios_static_routes module – Resource module to configure static routes.

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_static_routes.

New in cisco.ios 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module configures and manages the static routes on IOS platforms.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Aliases: static_routes

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of static route options
address_families list / elements=dictionary	Address family to use for the static routes
afi string / required	Top level address family indicator. Choices: `"ipv4"` `"ipv6"`
routes list / elements=dictionary	Configuring static route
dest string / required	Destination prefix with its subnet mask
next_hops list / elements=dictionary	next hop address or interface
dhcp boolean	Default gateway obtained from DHCP Choices: `false` `true`
distance_metric integer	Distance metric for this route
forward_router_address string	Forwarding router’s address
global boolean	Next hop address is global Choices: `false` `true`
interface string	Interface for directly connected static routes
multicast boolean	multicast route Choices: `false` `true`
name string	Specify name of the next hop
permanent boolean	permanent route Choices: `false` `true`
tag integer	Set tag for this route Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
track integer	Install route depending on tracked item with tracked object number. Tracking does not support multicast Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
unicast boolean	unicast route (ipv6 specific) Choices: `false` `true`
topology string	Configure static route for a Topology Routing/Forwarding instance NOTE, VRF and Topology can be used together only with Multicast and Topology should pre-exist before it can be used
vrf string	IP VPN Routing/Forwarding instance name. NOTE, In case of IPV4/IPV6 VRF routing table should pre-exist before configuring. NOTE, if the vrf information is not provided then the routes shall be configured under global vrf.
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 show running-config \| include ip route\|ipv6 route. 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 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 show running-config \| include ip route\|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"gathered"` `"rendered"` `"parsed"`

Notes 

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
The module examples uses callback plugin (stdout_callback = yaml) to generate task output in yaml format.

Return Values 

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

Key	Description
after list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Returned: when changed Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above."]`
before list / elements=string	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Returned: always Sample: `["The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above."]`
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device Returned: always Sample: `["ip route vrf test 172.31.10.0 255.255.255.0 10.10.10.2 name new_test multicast"]`
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 route 198.51.100.0 255.255.255.0 198.51.101.3 name route_3", "ipv6 route 2001:DB8:0:3::/64 2001:DB8:0:3::2 tag 105 name test_v6"]`
