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 | section 'ip(v6* access-list).
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
  • gathered
  • merged ←
  • overridden
  • rendered
  • replaced
  • parsed
The state the configuration should be left in

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NX-OS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • As NX-OS allows configuring a rule again with different sequence numbers, the user is expected to provide sequence numbers for the access control entries to preserve idempotency. If no sequence number is given, the rule will be added as a new rule by the device.
