running_config string	This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command sh running-config \| section ^router bgp. 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 module have declaratively similar behavior for replaced and overridden state. 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 \| section ^router bgp executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"purged"` `"gathered"` `"rendered"` `"parsed"`

Notes 

Note

Tested against Cisco IOS-XE Version 17.3 on CML.
This module works with connection network_cli. See https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html
The module examples uses callback plugin (stdout_callback = yaml) to generate task output in yaml format.

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: `["router bgp 65000", "neighbor 198.51.100.1 aigp send cost-community 100 poi igp-cost transitive", "bgp graceful-shutdown all neighbors 50 local-preference 100 community 100"]`
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 65000", "neighbor 198.51.100.1 aigp send cost-community 100 poi igp-cost transitive", "bgp graceful-shutdown all neighbors 50 local-preference 100 community 100"]`
