nxos_gir_profile_management - Create a maintenance-mode or normal-mode profile for GIR.

New in version 2.2.

Synopsis

  • Manage a maintenance-mode or normal-mode profile with configuration commands that can be applied during graceful removal or graceful insertion.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
commands
 no
List of commands to be included into the profile.
config
 no
Specify the configuration string to be used for module operations.
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.
include_defaults
 no
  • true
  • false
Specify to retrieve or not the complete running configuration for module operations.
mode
 yes
  • maintenance
  • normal
Configure the profile as Maintenance or Normal mode.
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.
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
  • present
  • absent
Specify desired state of the resource.
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
  • yes
  • 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
  • yes
  • 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.

Examples

# Create a maintenance-mode profile
- nxos_gir_profile_management:
    mode: maintenance
    commands:
      - router eigrp 11
      - isolate
    host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    username: "{{ un }}"
    password: "{{ pwd }}"
# Remove the maintenance-mode profile
- nxos_gir_profile_management:
    mode: maintenance
    state: absent
    host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    username: "{{ un }}"
    password: "{{ pwd }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

name description returned type sample
end_state
list of profile entries after module execution.
 verbose mode list ['router bgp 65535', 'isolate', 'router eigrp 10', 'isolate', 'diagnostic bootup level complete', 'router eigrp 11', 'isolate']
changed
check to see if a change was made on the device
 always boolean True
updates
commands sent to the device
 always list ['configure maintenance profile maintenance-mode', 'router eigrp 11', 'isolate']
proposed
list of commands passed into module.
 verbose mode list ['router eigrp 11', 'isolate']
existing
list of existing profile commands.
 verbose mode list ['router bgp 65535', 'isolate', 'router eigrp 10', 'isolate', 'diagnostic bootup level complete']

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • state=absent removes the whole profile.

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
