To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_static_routes.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.nxos

Synopsis

  • This module configures and manages the attributes of static routes on Cisco NX-OS platforms.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
config
list / elements=dictionary
A list of configurations for static routes
address_families
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary specifying the address family to which the static route(s) belong.
afi
string / required
    Choices:
  • ipv4
  • ipv6
Specifies the top level address family indicator.
routes
list / elements=dictionary
A dictionary that specifies the static route configurations
dest
string / required
Destination prefix of static route
The address format is <ipv4/v6 address>/<mask>
The mask is number in range 0-32 for IPv4 and in range 0-128 for IPv6
next_hops
list / elements=dictionary
Details of route to be taken
admin_distance
integer
Preference or administrative distance of route (range 1-255)
dest_vrf
string
VRF of the destination
forward_router_address
string
IP address of the next hop router
interface
string
Outgoing interface to take. For anything except 'Null0', then next hop IP address should also be configured.
route_name
string
Name of the static route
tag
integer
Route tag value (numeric)
track
integer
Track value (range 1 - 512). Track must already be configured on the device before adding the route.
vrf
string
The VRF to which the static route(s) belong
running_config
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 following commands in order show running-config | include '^ip(v6* route') and show running-config | section '^vrf context'.
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
  • merged ←
  • overridden
  • replaced
  • gathered
  • rendered
  • parsed
The state the configuration should be left in

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NX-OS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • Unsupported for Cisco MDS
  • When a route is configured for a non-existent VRF, the VRF is created and the route is added to it.
  • When deleting routes for a VRF, all routes inside the VRF are deleted, but the VRF is not deleted.
