Synopsis ¶

Manages BGP address-family’s neighbors configurations on NX-OS switches.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
additional_paths_receive		Choices: enable disable inherit	Valid values are enable for basic command enablement; disable for disabling the command at the neighbor af level (it adds the disable keyword to the basic command); and inherit to remove the command at this level (the command value is inherited from a higher BGP layer).
additional_paths_send		Choices: enable disable inherit	Valid values are enable for basic command enablement; disable for disabling the command at the neighbor af level (it adds the disable keyword to the basic command); and inherit to remove the command at this level (the command value is inherited from a higher BGP layer).
advertise_map_exist			Conditional route advertisement. This property requires two route maps, an advertise-map and an exist-map. Valid values are an array specifying both the advertise-map name and the exist-map name, or simply 'default' e.g. ['my_advertise_map', 'my_exist_map']. This command is mutually exclusive with the advertise_map_non_exist property.
advertise_map_non_exist			Conditional route advertisement. This property requires two route maps, an advertise-map and an exist-map. Valid values are an array specifying both the advertise-map name and the non-exist-map name, or simply 'default' e.g. ['my_advertise_map', 'my_non_exist_map']. This command is mutually exclusive with the advertise_map_exist property.
afi required		Choices: ipv4 ipv6 vpnv4 vpnv6 l2vpn	Address Family Identifier.
allowas_in			Activate allowas-in property
allowas_in_max			Max-occurrences value for allowas_in. Valid values are an integer value or 'default'. This is mutually exclusive with allowas_in.
as_override bool		Choices: no yes	Activate the as-override feature.
asn required			BGP autonomous system number. Valid values are String, Integer in ASPLAIN or ASDOT notation.
default_originate bool		Choices: no yes	Activate the default-originate feature.
default_originate_route_map			Route-map for the default_originate property. Valid values are a string defining a route-map name, or 'default'. This is mutually exclusive with default_originate.
disable_peer_as_check bool (added in 2.5)		Choices: no yes	Disable checking of peer AS-number while advertising
filter_list_in			Valid values are a string defining a filter-list name, or 'default'.
filter_list_out			Valid values are a string defining a filter-list name, or 'default'.
max_prefix_interval			Optional restart interval. Valid values are an integer. Requires max_prefix_limit. May not be combined with max_prefix_warning.
max_prefix_limit			maximum-prefix limit value. Valid values are an integer value or 'default'.
max_prefix_threshold			Optional threshold percentage at which to generate a warning. Valid values are an integer value. Requires max_prefix_limit.
max_prefix_warning bool		Choices: no yes	Optional warning-only keyword. Requires max_prefix_limit. May not be combined with max_prefix_interval.
neighbor required			Neighbor Identifier. Valid values are string. Neighbors may use IPv4 or IPv6 notation, with or without prefix length.
next_hop_self bool		Choices: no yes	Activate the next-hop-self feature.
next_hop_third_party bool		Choices: no yes	Activate the next-hop-third-party feature.
prefix_list_in			Valid values are a string defining a prefix-list name, or 'default'.
prefix_list_out			Valid values are a string defining a prefix-list name, or 'default'.
provider			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. This option is only required if you are using NX-API. For more information please see the NXOS Platform Options guide. 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 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.
	authorize bool (added in 2.5.3)	Choices: no ← yes	Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE` will be used instead.
	ssh_keyfile		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.
	use_proxy bool (added in 2.5)	Choices: no yes ←	If `no`, the environment variables `http_proxy` and `https_proxy` will be ignored.
	auth_pass (added in 2.5.3)	Default: none	Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS` 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.
	timeout (added in 2.3)	Default: 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).
	use_ssl bool	Choices: no ← yes	Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the `transport=nxapi`, otherwise this value is ignored.
	password		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.
	validate_certs bool	Choices: no yes	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.
	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 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).
	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) or nxapi.
route_map_in			Valid values are a string defining a route-map name, or 'default'.
route_map_out			Valid values are a string defining a route-map name, or 'default'.
route_reflector_client bool		Choices: no yes	Router reflector client.
safi required		Choices: unicast multicast evpn	Sub Address Family Identifier.
send_community		Choices: none both extended standard default	send-community attribute.
soft_reconfiguration_in		Choices: enable always inherit	Valid values are 'enable' for basic command enablement; 'always' to add the always keyword to the basic command; and 'inherit' to remove the command at this level (the command value is inherited from a higher BGP layer).
soo			Site-of-origin. Valid values are a string defining a VPN extcommunity or 'default'.
state		Choices: present ← absent	Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
suppress_inactive bool		Choices: no yes	suppress-inactive feature.
unsuppress_map			unsuppress-map. Valid values are a string defining a route-map name or 'default'.
vrf		Default: default	Name of the VRF. The name 'default' is a valid VRF representing the global bgp.
weight			Weight value. Valid values are an integer value or 'default'.

Notes ¶

Note

Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
state=absent removes the whole BGP address-family’s neighbor configuration.
Default, when supported, removes properties
In order to default maximum-prefix configuration, only max_prefix_limit=default is needed.
For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide
