Aliases: remote_management.oneview.oneview_ethernet_network_info

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• Python >= 2.7.9

• hpOneView >= 2.0.1

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
api_version integer	OneView API Version.
config path	Path to a JSON configuration file containing the OneView client configuration. The configuration file is optional and when used should be present in the host running the ansible commands. If the file path is not provided, the configuration will be loaded from environment variables. For links to example configuration files or how to use the environment variables verify the notes section.
hostname string	IP address or hostname for the appliance.
image_streamer_hostname string	IP address or hostname for the HPE Image Streamer REST API.
name string	Ethernet Network name.
options list / elements=string	List with options to gather additional information about an Ethernet Network and related resources. Options allowed: associatedProfiles and associatedUplinkGroups.
params dictionary	List of parameters to delimit, filter and sort the list of resources. Parameter keys allowed are: start: The first item to return, using 0-based indexing. count: The number of resources to return. filter: A general filter/query string to narrow the list of items returned. sort: The sort order of the returned data set.
password string	Password for API authentication.
username string	Username for API authentication.

Attributes

Attribute	Support	Description
check_mode	Support: full added in community.general 3.3.0 This action does not modify state.	Can run in check_mode and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: N/A This action does not modify state.	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in check_mode), when in diff mode.
