Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
additional_paths_receive
    Choices:
  • enable
  • disable
  • inherit
Valid values are enable for basic command enablement; disable for disabling the command at the neighbor af level (it adds the disable keyword to the basic command); and inherit to remove the command at this level (the command value is inherited from a higher BGP layer).
additional_paths_send
    Choices:

Conditional route advertisement. This property requires two route maps, an advertise-map and an exist-map. Valid values are an array specifying both the advertise-map name and the non-exist-map name, or simply 'default' e.g. ['my_advertise_map', 'my_non_exist_map']. This command is mutually exclusive with the advertise_map_exist property.

provider
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli.
This option is only required if you are using NX-API.
For more information please see the NXOS Platform Options guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
host
required
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
port Default:
"0 (use common port)"
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or nxapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443).
username
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the nxapi authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
password
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or nxapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
authorize
bool

(added in 2.5.3)
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead.
auth_pass
(added in 2.5.3)
 Default:
"none"
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead.
timeout
(added in 2.3)
 Default:
10
Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. NX-API can be slow to return on long-running commands (sh mac, sh bgp, etc).
ssh_keyfile
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for the cli transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
transport
required
 Default:
"cli"
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or nxapi.
use_ssl
bool
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored.
validate_certs
bool
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not nxapi, this value is ignored.
use_proxy
bool

(added in 2.5)
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored.
route_map_in
Valid values are a string defining a route-map name, or 'default'.
route_map_out
Valid values are a string defining a route-map name, or 'default'.
route_reflector_client
bool
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Router reflector client.
safi
required
    Choices:
  • unicast
  • multicast
  • evpn
Sub Address Family Identifier.
send_community
    Choices:
  • none
  • both
  • extended
  • standard
  • default
send-community attribute.
soft_reconfiguration_in
    Choices:
  • enable
  • always
  • inherit
Valid values are 'enable' for basic command enablement; 'always' to add the always keyword to the basic command; and 'inherit' to remove the command at this level (the command value is inherited from a higher BGP layer).
soo
Site-of-origin. Valid values are a string defining a VPN extcommunity or 'default'.
state
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
suppress_inactive
bool
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
suppress-inactive feature.
unsuppress_map
unsuppress-map. Valid values are a string defining a route-map name or 'default'.
vrf Default:
"default"
Name of the VRF. The name 'default' is a valid VRF representing the global bgp.
weight
Weight value. Valid values are an integer value or 'default'.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • state=absent removes the whole BGP address-family’s neighbor configuration.
  • Default, when supported, removes properties
  • In order to default maximum-prefix configuration, only max_prefix_limit=default is needed.
  • For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the Cisco integration page.
