    suboptions:
      auth_pass:
        description:
        - Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote
          device.  If I(authorize) is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value
          is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS)
          will be used instead.
        type: str
      authorize:
        default: false
        description:
        - 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.
        type: bool
      host:
        description:
        - Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over
          the specified transport.  The value of host is used as the destination address
          for the transport.
        type: str
      password:
        description:
        - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device.  This
          is a common argument used for either I(cli) or I(nxapi) transports. If the value
          is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD)
          will be used instead.
        type: str
      port:
        description:
        - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.  This
          value applies to either I(cli) or I(nxapi).  The port value will default to
          the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task.  (cli=22,
          http=80, https=443).
        type: int
      ssh_keyfile:
        description:
        - Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device.  This
          argument is only used for the I(cli) transport. If the value is not specified
          in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will
          be used instead.
        type: str
      timeout:
        description:
        - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for
          either connecting or sending commands.  If the timeout is exceeded before the
          operation is completed, the module will error. NX-API can be slow to return
          on long-running commands (sh mac, sh bgp, etc).

      transport:
        choices:
        - cli
        - nxapi

      username:
        description:
        - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote
          device.  This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the nxapi
          authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified
          in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will
          be used instead.
        type: str
      validate_certs:
        default: false
