nxos_vxlan_vtep_vni - Creates a Virtual Network Identifier member (VNI)
New in version 2.2.
Synopsis
- Creates a Virtual Network Identifier member (VNI) for an NVE overlay interface.
Options
| parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| assoc_vrf | no |
| This attribute is used to identify and separate processing VNIs that are associated with a VRF and used for routing. The VRF and VNI specified with this command must match the configuration of the VNI under the VRF. | |
| auth_pass (added in 2.4.4)
| no | 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. | |
| authorize (added in 2.4.4)
| no |
| 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. | |
| 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. | ||
| ingress_replication | no |
| Specifies mechanism for host reachability advertisement. | |
| interface | yes | Interface name for the VXLAN Network Virtualization Endpoint. | ||
| multicast_group | no | The multicast group (range) of the VNI. Valid values are string and keyword 'default'. | ||
| 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. | ||
| peer_list | no | Set the ingress-replication static peer list. Valid values are an array, a space-separated string of ip addresses, or the keyword 'default'. | ||
| 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). | |
| provider | no | Convenience method that allows all nxos arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict. | ||
| ssh_keyfile | no | 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. | ||
| state | no | present |
| Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device. |
| suppress_arp | no |
| Suppress arp under layer 2 VNI. | |
| 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). | |
| transport | yes | 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 | no |
| Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored. | |
| username | no | 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. | ||
| validate_certs | no |
| 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. | |
| vni | yes | ID of the Virtual Network Identifier. |
Examples
- nxos_vxlan_vtep_vni:
interface: nve1
vni: 6000

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 | ['interface nve1', 'member vni 6000'] |
Notes
Note
- Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
- default, where supported, restores params default value.
Status
This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
