Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of VRFs on Arista EOS network devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggregate list / elements=dictionary			List of VRFs definitions
	associated_interfaces list / elements=string		This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vrf name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vrf interfaces on device it will result in failure.
	delay integer	Default: 10	Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state arguments.
	interfaces list / elements=string		Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF. The name of interface should be in expanded format and not abbreviated.
	name string / required		Name of the VRF.
	rd string		Route distinguisher of the VRF
	state string	present ← absent	State of the VRF configuration.
associated_interfaces list / elements=string			This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vrf name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vrf interfaces on device it will result in failure.
delay integer		Default: 10	Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state arguments.
interfaces list / elements=string			Identifies the set of interfaces that should be configured in the VRF. Interfaces must be routed interfaces in order to be placed into a VRF. The name of interface should be in expanded format and not abbreviated.
name string			Name of the VRF.
provider dictionary			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli. Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using connection: httpapi for eAPI. This option will be removed in a release after 2022-06-01. For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_pass string		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 boolean	no ← yes	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 string		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.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or eapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
	port integer	Default: 0	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or eapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task (cli=22, http=80, https=443).
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead.
	timeout integer		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.
	transport string	cli ← eapi	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	use_proxy boolean	no yes ←	If no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored.
	use_ssl boolean	no yes ←	Configures the transport to use SSL if set to yes only when the transport=eapi. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored.
	username string		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 eAPI 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 boolean	no yes ←	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 eapi, this value is ignored.
purge boolean		no ← yes	Purge VRFs not defined in the aggregate parameter.
rd string			Route distinguisher of the VRF
state string		present ← absent	State of the VRF configuration.
