Inputs

    
state:
    choices:
    - present
    - absent
    default: present
    description:
    - State of the configuration values in the device's current active configuration.  When
      set to I(present), the values should be configured in the device active configuration
      and when set to I(absent) the values should not be in the device active configuration

hostname:
    description:
    - Configure the device hostname parameter. This option takes an ASCII string value.

domain_name:
    description:
    - Configure the IP domain name on the remote device to the provided value. Value should
      be in the dotted name form and will be appended to the C(hostname) to create a fully-qualified
      domain name.

name_servers:
    description:
    - The C(name_serves) argument accepts a list of DNS name servers by way of either
      FQDN or IP address to use to perform name resolution lookups.  This argument accepts
      wither a list of DNS servers See examples.

domain_search:
    description:
    - Provides the list of domain suffixes to append to the hostname for the purpose of
      doing name resolution. This argument accepts a list of names and will be reconciled
      with the current active configuration on the running node.

lookup_source:
    description:
    - The C(lookup_source) argument provides one or more source interfaces to use for
      performing DNS lookups.  The interface provided in C(lookup_source) must be a valid
      interface configured on the device.

lookup_enabled:
    description:
    - Provides administrative control for enabling or disabling DNS lookups.  When this
      argument is set to True, lookups are performed and when it is set to False, lookups
      are not performed.
    type: bool
