provider:
    description:
    - B(Deprecated)
    - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli).'

    - HORIZONTALLINE
    - A dict object containing connection details.
    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).
        type: int
      transport:
        choices:
        - cli
        - nxapi
        default: cli
        description:
        - Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.  The
          transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or nxapi.
        type: str
      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:
        - Configures the I(transport) to use SSL if set to C(yes) only when the C(transport=nxapi),
          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
          personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.  If the transport
          argument is not nxapi, this value is ignored.
        type: bool
    type: dict

system_mode_maintenance:
    description:
    - When C(system_mode_maintenance=true) it puts all enabled protocols in maintenance
      mode (using the isolate command). When C(system_mode_maintenance=false) it puts
      all enabled protocols in normal mode (using the no isolate command).
    type: bool

system_mode_maintenance_timeout:
    description:
    - Keeps the switch in maintenance mode for a specified number of minutes. Range is
      5-65535.

system_mode_maintenance_shutdown:
    description:
    - Shuts down all protocols, vPC domains, and interfaces except the management interface
      (using the shutdown command). This option is disruptive while C(system_mode_maintenance)
      (which uses the isolate command) is not.
    type: bool

system_mode_maintenance_dont_generate_profile:
    description:
    - When C(system_mode_maintenance_dont_generate_profile=true) it prevents the dynamic
      searching of enabled protocols and executes commands configured in a maintenance-mode
      profile. Use this option if you want the system to use a maintenance-mode profile
      that you have created. When C(system_mode_maintenance_dont_generate_profile=false)
      it prevents the dynamic searching of enabled protocols and executes commands configured
      in a normal-mode profile. Use this option if you want the system to use a normal-mode
      profile that you have created.
    type: bool

system_mode_maintenance_on_reload_reset_reason:
    choices:
    - hw_error
    - svc_failure
    - kern_failure
    - wdog_timeout
    - fatal_error
    - lc_failure
    - match_any
    - manual_reload
    - any_other
    - maintenance
    description:
    - Boots the switch into maintenance mode automatically in the event of a specified
      system crash. Note that not all reset reasons are applicable for all platforms.
      Also if reset reason is set to match_any, it is not idempotent as it turns on all
      reset reasons. If reset reason is match_any and state is absent, it turns off all
      the reset reasons.
