vrf

running_config
string
This option is used only with state parsed.
The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | section '^router bgp'.
The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.
state
string
    Choices:
  • merged
  • replaced
  • deleted
  • purged
  • parsed
  • gathered
  • rendered
The state the configuration should be left in.
State purged removes all the BGP configurations from the target device. Use caution with this state.
State deleted only removes BGP attributes that this modules manages and does not negate the BGP process completely. Thereby, preserving address-family related configurations under BGP context.
Running states deleted and replaced will result in an error if there are address-family configuration lines present under a neighbor, or a vrf context that is to be removed. Please use the cisco.nxos.nxos_bgp_af or cisco.nxos.nxos_bgp_neighbor_af modules for prior cleanup.
Refer to examples for more details.

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NX-OS 9.3.6.
  • This module works with connection network_cli and httpapi.
