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" "parsed" "rendered"

Return Values

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

Key	Description
after dictionary	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 dictionary	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: ["router ospf 200 vrf blue", "auto-cost reference-bandwidth 5", "domain-id 192.0.4.1"]
gathered dictionary	Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data. Returned: when state is gathered Sample: "This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"
parsed dictionary	The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec. Returned: when state is parsed Sample: "This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"
rendered list / elements=string	The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline). Returned: when state is rendered Sample: ["router ospf 200 vrf blue", "auto-cost reference-bandwidth 4", "distribute-list 10 out"]
