running_config

string

The state the configuration should be left in. - State purged removes all the BGP configurations from the target device. Use caution with this state. - State deleted only removes BGP attributes that this modules manages and does not negate the BGP process completely. Thereby, preserving address-family related configurations under BGP context. - Running states deleted and replaced will result in an error if there are address-family configuration lines present under a neighbor, or a vrf context that is to be removed. Please use the cisco.iosxr.iosxr_bgp_address_family or cisco.iosxr.iosxr_bgp_neighbor_address_family modules for prior cleanup. - Refer to examples for more details.

state

string

The state the configuration should be left in.

Choices:

  • "deleted"

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "replaced"

  • "gathered"

  • "rendered"

  • "parsed"

  • "purged"

  • "overridden"

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 bgp 65536", "bgp cluster-id 5", "bgp router-id 192.0.2.10", "bgp bestpath med confed"]

gathered

list / elements=string

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

list / elements=string

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 bgp 1", "default-metric 4", "vrf vrf3"]
