Note

This plugin is part of the dellemc.enterprise_sonic collection (version 1.1.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install dellemc.enterprise_sonic.

To use it in a playbook, specify: dellemc.enterprise_sonic.sonic_bgp_neighbors.

New in version 1.0.0: of dellemc.enterprise_sonic

Synopsis

  • This module provides configuration management of global BGP_NEIGHBORS parameters on devices running Enterprise SONiC.
  • bgp_as and vrf_name must be created on the device in advance.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.
