Synopsis

Collects facts from devices running the OpenSwitch operating system. Fact collection is supported over both Cli and Rest transports. 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. The facts collected from pre Ansible 2.2 are still available and are collected for backwards compatibility; however, these facts should be considered deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
