Examples

# ensure ntc VRF exists on switch
- nxos_vrf: vrf=ntc username="{{ un }}" password="{{ pwd }}" host="{{ inventory_hostname }}"

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
end_state k/v pairs of vrf info after module execution always dict {'admin_state': 'Up', 'description': 'Test test', 'vrf': 'ntc'}
changed check to see if a change was made on the device always boolean True
updates commands sent to the device always list ['vrf context ntc', 'shutdown']
proposed k/v pairs of parameters passed into module always dict {'admin_state': 'Up', 'description': 'Test test', 'vrf': 'ntc'}
existing k/v pairs of existing vrf dict {'admin_state': 'Up', 'description': 'Old test', 'vrf': 'old_ntc'}

Notes

Note

Cisco NX-OS creates the default VRF by itself. Therefore, you’re not allowed to use default as vrf name in this module.

Note

vrf name must be shorter than 32 chars.

Note

VRF names are not case sensible in NX-OS. Anyway, the name is stored just like it’s inserted by the user and it’ll not be changed again unless the VRF is removed and re-created. i.e. vrf=NTC will create a VRF named NTC, but running it again with vrf=ntc will not cause a configuration change.
