nxos_bgp_neighbor_af - Manages BGP address-family’s neighbors configuration.

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

  • Manages BGP address-family’s neighbors configurations on NX-OS switches.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
additional_paths_receive
 no
  • 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
 no
  • 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).
advertise_map_exist
 no
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 exist-map name, or simply 'default' e.g. ['my_advertise_map', 'my_exist_map']. This command is mutually exclusive with the advertise_map_non_exist property.
advertise_map_non_exist
 no
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.

filter_list_out
 no
Valid values are a string defining a filter-list name, or 'default'.
host
 yes
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.

  • false
Activate the next-hop-self feature.
next_hop_third_party
 no
  • true
  • false
Activate the next-hop-third-party feature.
password
 no
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.
port
 no 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).

timeout
(added in 2.3)
 no 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).

If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
validate_certs

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.
vrf
 no default
Name of the VRF. The name 'default' is a valid VRF representing the global bgp.
weight
 no
Weight value. Valid values are an integer value or 'default'.

Examples

- name: configure RR client
  nxos_bgp_neighbor_af:
    asn: 65535
    neighbor: '3.3.3.3'
    afi: ipv4
    safi: unicast
    route_reflector_client: true
    state: present

Return Values

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

name description returned type sample
commands
commands sent to the device
 always list ['router bgp 65535', 'neighbor 3.3.3.3', 'address-family ipv4 unicast', 'route-reflector-client']

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.

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
