nxos_vrrp - Manages VRRP configuration on NX-OS switches.
New in version 2.1.
Synopsis
- Manages VRRP configuration on NX-OS switches.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| admin_state |
| Used to enable or disable the VRRP process. | |
| authentication | Default: None | Clear text authentication string. | |
| group required | VRRP group number. | ||
| interface required | Full name of interface that is being managed for VRRP. | ||
| preempt |
| Enable/Disable preempt. | |
| priority | Default: None | VRRP priority. | |
| 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. | |
| state |
| Specify desired state of the resource. | |
| vip | Default: None | VRRP virtual IP address. | |
Notes
Note
- Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
- VRRP feature needs to be enabled first on the system.
- SVIs must exist before using this module.
- Interface must be a L3 port before using this module.
-
state=absentremoves the VRRP group if it exists on the device. - VRRP cannot be configured on loopback interfaces.
- 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
- name: Ensure vrrp group 100 and vip 10.1.100.1 is on vlan10
nxos_vrrp:
interface: vlan10
group: 100
vip: 10.1.100.1
- name: Ensure removal of the vrrp group config
# vip is required to ensure the user knows what they are removing
nxos_vrrp:
interface: vlan10
group: 100
vip: 10.1.100.1
state: absent
- name: Re-config with more params
nxos_vrrp:
interface: vlan10
group: 100
vip: 10.1.100.1
preempt: false
priority: 130
authentication: AUTHKEY
Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Returned | Description |
|---|---|---|
| commands list | always | commands sent to the device Sample: ['interface vlan10', 'vrrp 150', 'address 10.1.15.1', 'authentication text testing', 'no shutdown'] |
Status
This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
