      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

          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.

          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).
        type: int
      transport:
        choices:
        - cli
        - nxapi

      use_proxy:
        default: true
        description:
        - If C(no), the environment variables C(http_proxy) and C(https_proxy) will be
          ignored.
        type: bool
      use_ssl:
        default: false
        description:

          otherwise this value is ignored.
        type: bool
      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
        description:
        - If C(no), SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on

      must first specify the inject-map name, secondly an exist-map name, and optionally
      the copy-attributes keyword which indicates that attributes should be copied from
      the aggregate. For example [['lax_inject_map', 'lax_exist_map'], ['nyc_inject_map',
      'nyc_exist_map', 'copy-attributes'], ['fsd_inject_map', 'fsd_exist_map']].

      list must be in the form of a nested array. the first entry of each array defines
      the source-protocol to redistribute from; the second entry defines a route-map name.
      A route-map is highly advised but may be optional on some platforms, in which case
      it may be omitted from the array list. For example [['direct', 'rm_direct'], ['lisp',
      'rm_lisp']].
