running_config string								This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command sh 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: merged ← replaced overridden deleted gathered rendered parsed	The state the configuration should be left in The states merged is the default state which merges the want and have config, but for ACL module as the IOS platform doesn't allow update of ACE over an pre-existing ACE sequence in ACL, same way ACLs resource module will error out for respective scenario and only addition of new ACE over new sequence will be allowed with merge state. The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device. The state rendered will transform the configuration in `config` option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required. The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result. The state parsed reads the configuration from `running_config` option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of `running_config` option should be the same format as the output of command show running-config \| include ip route\|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
after list / elements=string	when changed	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list / elements=string	always	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list / elements=string	always	The set of commands pushed to the remote device Sample: ['ip access-list extended 110', 'deny icmp 192.0.2.0 0.0.0.255 192.0.3.0 0.0.0.255 echo dscp ef ttl eq 10']
