Synopsis

Manages BGP Address-family configurations on NX-OS switches.

Options

 no
  • true
  • false
Enables the receive capability of additional paths for all of the neighbors under this address family for which the capability has not been disabled.
additional_paths_selection
 no
Configures the capability of selecting additional paths for a prefix. Valid values are a string defining the name of the route-map.

  • true
  • false
Enables the send capability of additional paths for all of the neighbors under this address family for which the capability has not been disabled.
advertise_l2vpn_evpn
 no

  • ipv6
  • vpnv4
  • vpnv6
  • l2vpn
Address Family Identifier.
asn
 yes
BGP autonomous system number. Valid values are String, Integer in ASPLAIN or ASDOT notation.
client_to_client
 no
  • true
  • false
Configure client-to-client route reflection.
dampen_igp_metric
 no
Specify dampen value for IGP metric-related changes, in seconds. Valid values are integer and keyword 'default'.
dampening_half_time
 no
Specify decay half-life in minutes for route-flap dampening. Valid values are integer and keyword 'default'.
dampening_max_suppress_time
 no
Specify max suppress time for route-flap dampening stable route. Valid values are integer and keyword 'default'.
dampening_reuse_time
 no
Specify route reuse time for route-flap dampening. Valid values are integer and keyword 'default'.
dampening_routemap
 no
Specify route-map for route-flap dampening. Valid values are a string defining the name of the route-map.
dampening_state
 no
  • true
  • false
Enable/disable route-flap dampening.
dampening_suppress_time
 no
Specify route suppress time for route-flap dampening. Valid values are integer and keyword 'default'.
default_information_originate
 no
  • true
  • false
Default information originate.
default_metric
 no
Sets default metrics for routes redistributed into BGP. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'
distance_ebgp
 no
Sets the administrative distance for eBGP routes. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'.
distance_ibgp
 no
Sets the administrative distance for iBGP routes. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'.
distance_local
 no
Sets the administrative distance for local BGP routes. Valid values are Integer or keyword 'default'.
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.
inject_map
 no
An array of route-map names which will specify prefixes to inject. Each array entry must first specify the inject-map name, secondly an exist-map name, and optionally the copy-attributes keyword which indicates that attributes should be copied from the aggregate. For example [['lax_inject_map', 'lax_exist_map'], ['nyc_inject_map', 'nyc_exist_map', 'copy-attributes'], ['fsd_inject_map', 'fsd_exist_map']].
maximum_paths
 no
Configures the maximum number of equal-cost paths for load sharing. Valid value is an integer in the range 1-64.
maximum_paths_ibgp
 no
Configures the maximum number of ibgp equal-cost paths for load sharing. Valid value is an integer in the range 1-64.
networks
 no
Networks to configure. Valid value is a list of network prefixes to advertise. The list must be in the form of an array. Each entry in the array must include a prefix address and an optional route-map. For example [['10.0.0.0/16', 'routemap_LA'], ['192.168.1.1', 'Chicago'], ['192.168.2.0/24], ['192.168.3.0/24', 'routemap_NYC']].
next_hop_route_map
 no
Configure a route-map for valid nexthops. Valid values are a string defining the name of the route-map.
password
 no
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.
port
 no 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).
provider
 no
Convenience method that allows all nxos 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.
redistribute
 no
A list of redistribute directives. Multiple redistribute entries are allowed. The list must be in the form of a nested array. the first entry of each array defines the source-protocol to redistribute from; the second entry defines a route-map name. A route-map is highly advised but may be optional on some platforms, in which case it may be omitted from the array list. For example [['direct', 'rm_direct'], ['lisp', 'rm_lisp']].
safi
 yes
  • unicast
  • multicast
  • evpn
Sub Address Family Identifier.
ssh_keyfile
 no
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.
state
 no present
  • present
  • absent
Determines whether the config should be present or not on the device.
suppress_inactive
 no
  • true
  • false
Advertises only active routes to peers.
table_map
 no
Apply table-map to filter routes downloaded into URIB. Valid values are a string.
table_map_filter
 no
  • true
  • false
Filters routes rejected by the route-map and does not download them to the RIB.
transport
 yes 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.
use_ssl
 no
  • yes
  • no
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport=nxapi, otherwise this value is ignored.
username
 no
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of username 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.
vrf
 yes
Name of the VRF. The name 'default' is a valid VRF representing the global bgp.

Note

Default, where supported, restores params default value.
