cisco.ios.ios_vrf_global module – Resource module to configure global VRF definitions.
Note
This module is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 9.0.3).
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.ios.
To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_vrf_global.
New in cisco.ios 8.0.0
Synopsis
This module provides declarative management of VRF definitions on Cisco IOS.
Aliases: vrf_global
Parameters

Comments |
|---|---|
A dictionary containing device configurations for VRF, including a list of VRF definitions. |
|
List of VRF definitions. |

VRF specific description |
|
VRF IPv4 configuration |
|
IPv4 multicast configuration |
|
Enable multicast-specific topology Choices:
|
|
VRF IPv6 configuration |
|
IPv6 multicast configuration |
|
Enable multicast-specific topology Choices:
|
|
Name of the VRF. |
|
Specify route distinguisher (RD). |
|
Specify target VPN extended configurations. |
|
Both export and import target-VPN configuration. |
|
Export target-VPN configuration. |
|
Import target-VPN configuration. |
|
Virtual networking configuration. |
|
Identifier used to tag packets associated with this VNET. |
|
Configure vpn-id for the VRF as specified in RFC 2685. |
|
Configure vpn-id in RFC 2685 format. |
|
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 show running-config | section ^vrf. The state parsed reads the configuration from |
|
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 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 The state deleted only removes the VRF attributes that this module manages and does not negate the VRF completely. Thereby, preserving address-family related configurations under VRF context. The state purged removes all the VRF definitions from the target device. Use caution with this state. Refer to examples for more details. Choices:

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.htmlThe module examples uses callback plugin (stdout_callback = yaml) to generate task output in yaml format.
