cisco.nxos.nxos_fc_interfaces module – Fc Interfaces resource module

Note

This module is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 5.3.0).

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.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_fc_interfaces.

New in cisco.nxos 5.2.0

Synopsis 

This module manages the interface attributes of NX-OS fc interfaces.

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary	A dictionary of interface options
analytics string	Analytics type on the fc interface Choices: `"fc-scsi"` `"fc-nvme"` `"fc-all"`
description string	Interface description.
enabled boolean	Administrative state of the interface. Set the value to `true` to administratively enable the interface or `false` to disable it Choices: `false` `true`
mode string	Port mode of the fc interface Choices: `"auto"` `"E"` `"F"` `"Fx"` `"NP"` `"SD"`
name string / required	Full name of interface, e.g. fc1/1, fc18/48
speed string	Interface link speed. Choices: `"auto"` `"1000"` `"2000"` `"4000"` `"8000"` `"10000"` `"16000"` `"32000"` `"64000"` `"auto max 2000"` `"auto max 4000"` `"auto max 8000"` `"auto max 16000"` `"auto max 32000"` `"auto max 64000"`
trunk_mode string	Trunk mode of the fc interface Choices: `"auto"` `"on"` `"off"`
running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config interface 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 of the configuration after module completion Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"gathered"` `"rendered"` `"parsed"`

Return Values 

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

Key	Description
after dictionary	The resulting configuration after module execution. Returned: when changed Sample: `"This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"`
before dictionary	The configuration prior to the module execution. Returned: when state is `merged`, `replaced`, `overridden`, `deleted` or `purged` Sample: `"This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"`
commands list / elements=string	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Returned: when state is `merged`, `replaced`, `overridden`, `deleted` or `purged` Sample: `["interface fc1/1", "description sample description", "shutdown"]`
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: `["interface fc1/1", "description sample description", "shutdown"]`
