nxos_vrrp - Manages VRRP configuration on NX-OS switches.

New in version 2.1.

Synopsis

  • Manages VRRP configuration on NX-OS switches.

Options

parameter required default choices comments
admin_state
(added in 2.2)
no no shutdown
  • shutdown
  • no shutdown
Used to enable or disable the VRRP process.
authentication
no
Clear text authentication string.
group
yes
VRRP group number.
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.
interface
yes
Full name of interface that is being managed for VRRP.
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).
priority
no
VRRP priority.
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.
vip
no
VRRP virtual IP address.

Examples

- name: Ensure vrrp group 100 and vip 10.1.100.1 is on vlan10
  nxos_vrrp:
    interface: vlan10
    group: 100
    vip: 10.1.100.1

- name: Ensure removal of the vrrp group config
  # vip is required to ensure the user knows what they are removing
  nxos_vrrp:
    interface: vlan10
    group: 100
    vip: 10.1.100.1
    state: absent

- name: Re-config with more params
  nxos_vrrp:
    interface: vlan10
    group: 100
    vip: 10.1.100.1
    preempt: false
    priority: 130
    authentication: AUTHKEY

Return Values

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

name description returned type sample
commands
commands sent to the device
always list ['interface vlan10', 'vrrp 150', 'address 10.1.15.1', 'authentication text testing', 'no shutdown']

Notes

Note

  • Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
  • VRRP feature needs to be enabled first on the system.
  • SVIs must exist before using this module.
  • Interface must be a L3 port before using this module.
  • state=absent removes the VRRP group if it exists on the device.
  • VRRP cannot be configured on loopback interfaces.

Status

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