New in version 2.2.
Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running Dell OS9. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with ansible_net_<fact>. The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.
| parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| 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. |
|
| gather_subset | no | !config | When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces. Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial ! to specify that a specific subset should not be collected. |
|
| 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. |
||
| password | no | Password to authenticate the SSH session to the remote device. 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 dellos9 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 | Path to an ssh key used to authenticate the SSH session to the remote device. 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 (in seconds) for the connection. Useful if the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations. |
|
| username | no | User to authenticate the SSH session to the remote device. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |

Note
This module requires Dell OS9 version 9.10.0.1P13 or above.
Note
This module requires to increase the ssh connection rate limit. Use the following command ip ssh connection-rate-limit 60 to configure the same. This can be done via dnos_config module as well.
