username

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the VYOS device by executing the command show configuration commands | grep syslog.

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 replaced and overridden have identical behaviour for this module.

Refer to examples for more details.

Choices:

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "replaced"

  • "overridden"

  • "deleted"

  • "gathered"

  • "parsed"

  • "rendered"

Notes

Note

  • Tested against vyos 1.2

  • This module works with connection network_cli.

  • The Configuration defaults of the Vyos network devices are supposed to hinder idempotent behavior of plays
