    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(eapi) 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:
        default: 0
        description:
        - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.  This
          value applies to either I(cli) or I(eapi).
        - 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 keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote
          device.  This argument is only used for I(cli) transports. If the value is not
          specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE)
          will be used instead.
        type: path
      timeout:
        description:
        - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for

        type: bool
      use_ssl:
        default: true
        description:
        - Configures the I(transport) to use SSL if set to C(yes) only when the C(transport=eapi).  If

      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 eAPI
          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

        type: str
      validate_certs:
        default: true

interfaces:
    description:
    - List of interfaces that should be associated to the VLAN. The name of interface

associated_interfaces:
    description:
    - This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vlan C(name)
      for associated interfaces. The name of interface is case sensitive and should be
      in expanded format and not abbreviated. If the value in the C(associated_interfaces)
      does not match with the operational state of vlan interfaces on device it will result
      in failure.
