| distance_ebgp | no | Sets the administrative distance for eBGP routes. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'. | ||
| distance_ibgp | no | Sets the administrative distance for iBGP routes. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'. | ||
| distance_local | no | Sets the administrative distance for local BGP routes. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'. | ||
| host | yes | 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. | ||
| inject_map | no | An array of route-map names which will specify prefixes to inject. Each array entry must first specify the inject-map name, secondly an exist-map name, and optionally the copy-attributes keyword which indicates that attributes should be copied from the aggregate. For example [['lax_inject_map', 'lax_exist_map'], ['nyc_inject_map', 'nyc_exist_map', 'copy-attributes'], ['fsd_inject_map', 'fsd_exist_map']]. | ||
| maximum_paths | no | Configures the maximum number of equal-cost paths for load sharing. Valid value is an integer in the range 1-64. | ||
| maximum_paths_ibgp | no | Configures the maximum number of ibgp equal-cost paths for load sharing. Valid value is an integer in the range 1-64. | ||
| networks | no | Networks to configure. Valid value is a list of network prefixes to advertise. The list must be in the form of an array. Each entry in the array must include a prefix address and an optional route-map. For example [['10.0.0.0/16', 'routemap_LA'], ['192.168.1.1', 'Chicago'], ['192.168.2.0/24'], ['192.168.3.0/24', 'routemap_NYC']]. | ||
| next_hop_route_map | no | Configure a route-map for valid nexthops. Valid values are a string defining the name of the route-map. | ||
| password | no | 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 | no | 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). | |
| provider | no | Convenience method that allows all nxos arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict. | ||
| redistribute | no | A list of redistribute directives. Multiple redistribute entries are allowed. The list must be in the form of a nested array. the first entry of each array defines the source-protocol to redistribute from; the second entry defines a route-map name. A route-map is highly advised but may be optional on some platforms, in which case it may be omitted from the array list. For example [['direct', 'rm_direct'], ['lisp', 'rm_lisp']]. | ||
| safi | yes |
| Sub Address Family Identifier. | |
| ssh_keyfile | no | 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. | ||
| state | no | present |
| Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device. |
| suppress_inactive | no |
| Advertises only active routes to peers. | |
| table_map | no | Apply table-map to filter routes downloaded into URIB. Valid values are a string. | ||
| table_map_filter | no |
| Filters routes rejected by the route-map and does not download them to the RIB. | |
| timeout (added in 2.3)
| no | 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 | yes | 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_ssl | no |
| Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored. | |
| username | no | 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 | no |
| 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. | |
| vrf | yes | Name of the VRF. The name 'default' is a valid VRF representing the global bgp. |

Note
state=absent removes the whole BGP ASN configurationThis module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
