Synopsis

This module configures and manages Objects and Groups on ASA platforms.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter					Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary						A list of Object Group options.
	object_groups list / elements=dictionary					The object groups.
		description string				The description for the object-group.
		icmp_type dictionary				Configure an ICMP-type object
			icmp_object list / elements=string		Choices: alternate-address conversion-error echo echo-reply information-reply information-request mask-reply mask-request mobile-redirect parameter-problem redirect router-advertisement router-solicitation source-quench time-exceeded timestamp-reply timestamp-request traceroute unreachable	Defines the ICMP types in the group.
		name string / required				Specifies object-group ID
		network_object dictionary				Configure a network object
			address list / elements=string			Enter an IPv4 network address with space seperated netmask.
			host list / elements=string			Set this to specify a single host object.
			ipv6_address list / elements=string			Enter an IPv6 prefix.
		protocol_object dictionary				Configure a protocol object
			protocol list / elements=string		Choices: ah eigrp esp gre icmp icmp6 igmp igrp ip ipinip ipsec nos ospf pcp pim pptp sctp snp tcp udp	Defines the protocols in the group.
		security_group dictionary				Configure a security-group
			sec_name list / elements=string			Enter this keyword to specify a security-group name.
			tag list / elements=string			Enter this keyword to specify a security-group tag.
		service_object dictionary				Configure a service object
			object string			Enter this keyword to specify a service object
			protocol list / elements=string		Choices: ah eigrp esp gre icmp icmp6 igmp igrp ip ipinip ipsec nos ospf pcp pim pptp sctp snp tcp tcp-udp udp	Defines the protocols in the group.
		user_object dictionary				Configures single user, local or import user group
			user list / elements=dictionary			Configure a user objectUser name to configure a user object.
				domain string / required		User domain
				name string / required		Enter the name of the user
			user_group list / elements=dictionary			Configure a user group object.
				domain string / required		Group domain
				name string / required		Enter the name of the group
	object_type string / required				Choices: icmp-type network protocol security service user	The object group type.
running_config string						The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current running-config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. There are times when it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. The running_config argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison. This value of this option should be the output received from device by executing command.
state string					Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted gathered rendered parsed	The state the configuration should be left in

Notes

Note

Tested against Cisco ASA Version 9.10(1)11
This module works with connection network_cli. See ASA Platform Options.
