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.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

assoc_vrf

boolean

  • no
  • yes

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.

ingress_replication

-

  • bgp
  • static
  • default

Specifies mechanism for host reachability advertisement.

interface

- / required

Interface name for the VXLAN Network Virtualization Endpoint.

multicast_group

-

The multicast group (range) of the VNI. Valid values are string and keyword 'default'.

peer_list

-

Set the ingress-replication static peer list. Valid values are an array, a space-separated string of ip addresses, or the keyword 'default'.

provider

-

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.

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.

authorize

boolean

added in 2.5.3

  • 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

- / 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.

password

-

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

-

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).

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.

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).

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.

use_proxy

boolean

added in 2.5

  • 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 true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored.

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.

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 nxapi, this value is ignored.

state

-

  • present

  • absent

Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.

suppress_arp

boolean

  • no
  • yes

Suppress arp under layer 2 VNI.

vni

- / required

ID of the Virtual Network Identifier.
