Description

Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running Ironware. 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.

    - Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending
      any commands.  If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands
      in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of
      environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE) will be used instead.
