list / elements=dictionary

Enable address family and enter its config mode - AFI/SAFI configuration

afi

string

Address Family Identifier (AFI)

Choices:

  • "ipv4"

  • "ipv6"

export

dictionary

VRF export

route_policy

string

Use route_policy for export

route_target

string

Specify export route target extended communities.

to

dictionary

Export routes to a VRF

default_vrf

dictionary

Export routes to default VRF

route_policy

string

Use route_policy for export

vrf

dictionary

Export routes to a VRF

allow_imported_vpn

boolean

Allow export of imported VPN routes to non-default VRF

Choices:

  • false

  • true

import_config

dictionary

VRF import

from_config

dictionary

Import routes from a VRF

bridge_domain

dictionary

VRF import

advertise_as_vpn

boolean

Advertise local EVPN imported routes to PEs

Choices:

  • false

  • true

default_vrf

dictionary

Export routes to default VRF

route_policy

string

Use route_policy for export

vrf

dictionary

advertise_as_vpn

boolean

Advertise local EVPN imported routes to PEs

Choices:

  • false

  • true

route_policy

string

Use route_policy for export

route_target

string

Specify export route target extended communities.

maximum

dictionary

Set maximum prefix limit

prefix

integer

Set table’s maximum prefix limit.

safi

string

Address Family modifier

Choices:

  • "flowspec"

  • "multicast"

  • "unicast"

name

string / required

Name of the 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-XR device by executing the command show running-config vrf.

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 vrf. connection to remote host is not required.

Choices:

  • "parsed"

  • "gathered"

  • "deleted"

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "replaced"

  • "rendered"

  • "overridden"

Return Values

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

Key

Description

after

list / elements=string

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

list / elements=string

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: ["vrf VRF7", "address-family ipv4 unicast", "export route-policy rm-policy", "import route-policy test-policy"]

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: ["vrf VRF4", "address-family ipv4 unicast", "export route-policy rm-policy"]
