dellos10_facts – Collect facts from remote devices running Dell EMC Networking OS10

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

  • Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running OS10. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with ansible_net_<fact>. The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.

Parameters

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.
