Description

Collects facts from Cisco Nexus devices running the NX-OS operating system. Fact collection is supported over both Cli and Nxapi transports. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with C(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.
