New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
admin_down
bool
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Enables the BFD session to enter the AdminDown state. By default, a BFD session is enabled. The default value is bool type.
description
Specifies the description of a BFD session. The value is a string of 1 to 51 case-sensitive characters with spaces.
detect_multi
Specifies the local detection multiplier of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 3 to 50.
local_discr
Specifies the local discriminator of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 16384.
min_rx_interval
Specifies the minimum interval for sending BFD packets. The value is an integer that ranges from 50 to 1000, in milliseconds.
min_tx_interval
Specifies the minimum interval for receiving BFD packets. The value is an integer that ranges from 50 to 1000, in milliseconds.
provider
A dict object containing connection details.
username
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the CLI login. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
host
required
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.
ssh_keyfile
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is 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.
password
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
port Default:
0 (use common port)
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or netconf. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, netconf=22).
transport
required
 Default:
cli
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh).
remote_discr
Specifies the remote discriminator of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 4294967295.
session_name
required
Specifies the name of a BFD session. The value is a string of 1 to 15 case-sensitive characters without spaces.
state
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
tos_exp
Specifies a priority for BFD control packets. The value is an integer ranging from 0 to 7. The default value is 7, which is the highest priority.
wtr_interval
Specifies the WTR time of a BFD session. The value is an integer that ranges from 1 to 60, in minutes. The default value is 0.
