nxos_static_route - Manages static route configuration
New in version 2.2.
Synopsis
- Manages static route configuration
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| aggregate (added in 2.5) | List of static route definitions | ||
| next_hop required | Next hop address or interface of static route. If interface, it must be the fully-qualified interface name. | ||
| pref | Preference or administrative difference of route (range 1-255) or keyword 'default'. aliases: admin_distance | ||
| prefix required | Destination prefix of static route. aliases: address | ||
| provider | Default: None | Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli.This option is only required if you are using NX-API. For more information please see the NXOS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details. | |
| username | 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. | ||
| authorize (added in 2.5.3) |
| 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. | |
| ssh_keyfile | 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. | ||
| use_proxy (added in 2.5) |
| If no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. | |
| auth_pass (added in 2.5.3) | Default: 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. | |
| 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. | ||
| timeout (added in 2.3) | Default: 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). | |
| use_ssl |
| Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored. | |
| password | Default: None | 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. | |
| validate_certs |
None | 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. | |
| port | Default: 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). | |
| transport required | Default: 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. | |
| route_name | Name of the route or keyword 'default'. Used with the name parameter on the CLI. | ||
| state |
| Manage the state of the resource. | |
| tag | Route tag value (numeric) or keyword 'default'. | ||
| vrf | Default: default | VRF for static route. | |
Notes
Note
- Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
- If no vrf is supplied, vrf is set to default.
- If
state=absent, the route will be removed, regardless of the non-required parameters. - For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide
- For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
- For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the Cisco integration page.
Examples
- nxos_static_route:
prefix: "192.168.20.64/24"
