Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
comment string			Configures a text string comment to be associated with the instance of this object. The provided text string will be configured on the object instance.
container boolean		Choices: no yes	If set to true it'll create the network container to be added or removed from the system.
extattrs dictionary			Allows for the configuration of Extensible Attributes on the instance of the object. This argument accepts a set of key / value pairs for configuration.
network string / required			Specifies the network to add or remove from the system. The value should use CIDR notation. aliases: name, cidr
network_view string		Default: "default"	Configures the name of the network view to associate with this configured instance.
options list / elements=dictionary			Configures the set of DHCP options to be included as part of the configured network instance. This argument accepts a list of values (see suboptions). When configuring suboptions at least one of `name` or `num` must be specified.
	name string		The name of the DHCP option to configure. The standard options are `router`, `router-templates`, `domain-name-servers`, `domain-name`, `broadcast-address`, `broadcast-address-offset`, `dhcp-lease-time`, and `dhcp6.name-servers`.
	num integer		The number of the DHCP option to configure
	use_option boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Only applies to a subset of options (see NIOS API documentation)
	value string / required		The value of the DHCP option specified by `name`
	vendor_class string	Default: "DHCP"	The name of the space this DHCP option is associated to
provider dictionary			A dict object containing connection details.
	host string		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote instance of NIOS WAPI over REST Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HOST` environment variable.
	http_pool_connections integer	Default: 10	Number of pools to be used by the `infoblox_client.Connector` object. This is passed as-is to the underlying `requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter` class.
	http_pool_maxsize integer	Default: 10	Maximum number of connections per pool to be used by the `infoblox_client.Connector` object. This is passed as-is to the underlying `requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter` class.
	http_request_timeout integer	Default: 10	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable.
	max_results integer	Default: 1000	Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS` environment variable.
	max_retries integer	Default: 3	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_PASSWORD` environment variable.
	silent_ssl_warnings boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Disable `urllib3` SSL warnings in the `infoblox_client.Connector` object. This is passed as-is to the underlying `requests.adapters.HTTPAdapter` class.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_USERNAME` environment variable.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY` environment variable. aliases: ssl_verify
	wapi_version string	Default: "2.1"	Specifies the version of WAPI to use Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_WAP_VERSION` environment variable. Until ansible 2.8 the default WAPI was 1.4
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to `present`, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to `absent` the value is removed (if necessary) from the device.

Notes

Note

This module must be run locally, which can be achieved by specifying connection: local.
