Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A list of configurations for static routes.
address_families
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary specifying the address family to which the static route(s) belong.
afi
string / required
    Choices:
  • ipv4
  • ipv6
Specifies the top level address family indicator.
routes
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary that specifies the static route configurations.
dest
string / required
Destination IPv4 subnet (CIDR or address-mask notation).
The address format is <v4/v6 address>/<mask> or <v4/v6 address> <mask>.
The mask is number in range 0-32 for IPv4 and in range 0-128 for IPv6.
next_hops
list / elements=dictionary
Details of route to be taken.
admin_distance
integer
Preference or administrative distance of route (range 1-255).
description
string
Name of the static route.
forward_router_address
string
Forwarding router's address on destination interface.
interface
string
Outgoing interface to take. For anything except 'null0', then next hop IP address should also be configured.
IP address of the next hop router or
null0 Null0 interface or
ethernet e_num Ethernet interface or
loopback l_num Loopback interface or
management m_num Management interface or
port-channel p_num
vlan v_num
vxlan vx_num
Nexthop-Group Specify nexthop group name
Tunnel Tunnel interface
vtep Configure VXLAN Tunnel End Points
mpls_label
integer
MPLS label
nexthop_grp
string
Nexthop group
tag
integer
Route tag value (ranges from 0 to 4294967295).
track
string
Track value (range 1 - 512). Track must already be configured on the device before adding the route.
vrf
string
VRF of the destination.
vrf
string
The VRF to which the static route(s) belong.
running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | grep routes.
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
    Choices:
  • deleted
  • merged
  • overridden
  • replaced
  • gathered
  • rendered
  • parsed
The state the configuration should be left in.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M
  • This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.
