Synopsis

This module allows you to work with access-lists on a Cisco ASA device.

Options

parameter	required	default	choices	comments
after	no			The ordered set of commands to append to the end of the command stack if a changed needs to be made. Just like with before this allows the playbook designer to append a set of commands to be executed after the command set.
auth_pass	no	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.
authorize	no		yes no	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.
before	no			The ordered set of commands to push on to the command stack if a change needs to be made. This allows the playbook designer the opportunity to perform configuration commands prior to pushing any changes without affecting how the set of commands are matched against the system.
config	no			The module, by default, will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current running-config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. There are times when it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. The config argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuruation to use as the base config for comparision.
context	no			Specifies which context to target if you are running in the ASA in multiple context mode. Defaults to the current context you login to.
force	no		yes no	The force argument instructs the module to not consider the current devices running-config. When set to true, this will cause the module to push the contents of src into the device without first checking if already configured.
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.
lines	yes			The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands must be the exact same commands as found in the device running-config. Be sure to note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically modified by the device config parser.
match	no	line	line strict exact	Instructs the module on the way to perform the matching of the set of commands against the current device config. If match is set to line, commands are matched line by line. If match is set to strict, command lines are matched with respect to position. Finally if match is set to exact, command lines must be an equal match.
password	no			Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
port	no	22		Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
provider	no			Convenience method that allows all ios 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.
replace	no	line	line block	Instructs the module on the way to perform the configuration on the device. If the replace argument is set to line then the modified lines are pushed to the device in configuration mode. If the replace argument is set to block then the entire command block is pushed to the device in configuration mode if any line is not correct.
ssh_keyfile	no			Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
timeout	no	10		Specifies idle timeout for the connection, in seconds. Useful if the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations.
username	no			Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.

Examples

# Note: examples below use the following provider dict to handle
#       transport and authentication to the node.
vars:
  cli:
    host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
    username: cisco
    password: cisco
    transport: cli
    authorize: yes
    auth_pass: cisco

Return Values

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

name	description	returned	type	sample
updates	The set of commands that will be pushed to the remote device	always	list	['...', '...']
responses	The set of responses from issuing the commands on the device		list	['...', '...']
