running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | include logging.
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

    Choices:
  • merged
  • replaced
  • overridden
  • deleted
  • parsed
  • gathered
  • rendered
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.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NX-OS 9.3.6.
  • Limited Support for Cisco MDS
  • This module works with connection network_cli and httpapi.
