Synopsis ¶

Manages PIM interface configuration settings.

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
border bool		Choices: no ← yes	Configures interface to be a boundary of a PIM domain.
dr_prio			Configures priority for PIM DR election on interface.
hello_auth_key			Authentication for hellos on this interface.
hello_interval bool		Choices: no yes	Hello interval in milliseconds for this interface.
interface required			Full name of the interface such as Ethernet1/33.
jp_policy_in			Policy for join-prune messages (inbound).
jp_policy_out			Policy for join-prune messages (outbound).
jp_type_in		Choices: prefix routemap	Type of policy mapped to `jp_policy_in`.
jp_type_out		Choices: prefix routemap	Type of policy mapped to `jp_policy_out`.
neighbor_policy			Configures a neighbor policy for filtering adjacencies.
neighbor_type		Choices: prefix routemap	Type of policy mapped to neighbor_policy.
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.
sparse bool		Choices: no ← yes	Enable/disable sparse-mode on the interface.
state		Choices: present ← default	Manages desired state of the resource.

Notes ¶

Note

Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
When state=default, supported params will be reset to a default state. These include dr_prio, hello_auth_key, hello_interval, jp_policy_out, jp_policy_in, jp_type_in, jp_type_out, border, neighbor_policy, neighbor_type.
The hello_auth_key param is not idempotent.
hello_auth_key only supports clear text passwords.
When state=absent, pim interface configuration will be set to defaults and pim-sm will be disabled on the interface.
PIM must be enabled on the device to use this module.
This module is for Layer 3 interfaces.
For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide
For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide

Examples ¶

# ensure PIM is not running on the interface
- nxos_pim_interface:
    interface: eth1/33
    state: absent

# ensure the interface has pim-sm enabled with the appropriate priority and hello interval
- nxos_pim_interface:
    interface: eth1/33
    dr_prio: 10
    hello_interval: 40
    state: present

# ensure join-prune policies exist
- nxos_pim_interface:
    interface: eth1/33
    jp_policy_in: JPIN
    jp_policy_out: JPOUT
    jp_type_in: routemap
    jp_type_out: routemap

# ensure defaults are in place
- nxos_pim_interface:
    interface: eth1/33
    state: default

Return Values ¶

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

Key	Returned	Description
commands list	always	command sent to the device Sample: ['interface eth1/33', 'ip pim neighbor-policy test', 'ip pim neighbor-policy test']

Status ¶

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

Maintenance ¶

This module is flagged as network which means that it is maintained by the Ansible Network Team. See Module Maintenance & Support for more info.
