This parameter apply only when fetch_nested is true.

networks

list / elements=dictionary

List of dictionary describing networks to be attached to interface or bond:

address

IP address in case of static boot protocol is used.

boot_protocol

string

Boot protocol.

Choices:

  • "static"

  • "dhcp"

custom_properties

string

Custom properties applied to the host network.

Custom properties is a list of dictionary which can have following values.

name

string

Name of custom property.

value

string

Value of custom property.

gateway

string

Gateway in case of static boot protocol is used.

name

string

Name of the logical network to be assigned to bond or interface.

Subnet mask in case of static boot protocol is used.

version

string

IP version. Either v4 or v6. Default is v4.

poll_interval

integer

Number of the seconds the module waits until another poll request on entity status is sent.

Default: 3

save

boolean

If true network configuration will be persistent, otherwise it is temporary. Default true since Ansible 2.8.

Choices:

wait

boolean

yes if the module should wait for the entity to get into desired state.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

Notes

Note

  • In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.4.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# In all examples the durability of the configuration created is dependent on the 'save' option value:

# Create bond on eth0 and eth1 interface, and put 'myvlan' network on top of it and persist the new configuration:
- name: Bonds
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    save: yes
    bond:
      name: bond0
      mode: 2
      interfaces:
        - eth1
        - eth2
    networks:
      - name: myvlan
        boot_protocol: static
        address: 1.2.3.4
        netmask: 255.255.255.0
        gateway: 1.2.3.4
        version: v4

# Create bond on eth1 and eth2 interface, specifying both mode and miimon:
- name: Bonds
  ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0
      mode: 1
      options:
        miimon: 200
      interfaces:
        - eth1
        - eth2

# Remove bond0 bond from host interfaces:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    bond:
      name: bond0

# Assign myvlan1 and myvlan2 vlans to host eth0 interface:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan1
      - name: myvlan2

# Remove myvlan2 vlan from host eth0 interface:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan2

# Remove all networks/vlans from host eth0 interface:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    state: absent
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0

# Add custom_properties to network:
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_host_network:
    name: myhost
    interface: eth0
    networks:
      - name: myvlan1
        custom_properties:
          - name: bridge_opts
            value: gc_timer=10

Return Values

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