This module provides declarative management of node system attributes on Cisco NXOS devices. It provides an option to configure host system parameters or remove those parameters from the device active configuration.
- name: configure hostname and domain-name nxos_system: hostname: nxos01 domain_name: test.example.com
- name: remove configuration nxos_system: state: absent
- name: configure name servers nxos_system: name_servers: - 8.8.8.8 - 8.8.4.4
- name: configure name servers with VRF support nxos_system: name_servers: - { server: 8.8.8.8, vrf: mgmt } - { server: 8.8.4.4, vrf: mgmt }
state: choices: - present - absent default: present description: - State of the configuration values in the device's current active configuration. When set to I(present), the values should be configured in the device active configuration and when set to I(absent) the values should not be in the device active configuration hostname: description: - Configure the device hostname parameter. This option takes an ASCII string value or keyword 'default' provider: description: - B(Deprecated) - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli).' - 'Starting with Ansible 2.6 we recommend using C(connection: httpapi) for NX-API.' - This option will be removed in a release after 2022-06-01. - For more information please see the L(NXOS Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_nxos.html). - 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_mtu: description: - Specifies the mtu, must be an integer or keyword 'default'. domain_name: description: - Configures the default domain name suffix to be used when referencing this node by its FQDN. This argument accepts either a list of domain names or a list of dicts that configure the domain name and VRF name or keyword 'default'. See examples. name_servers: description: - List of DNS name servers by IP address to use to perform name resolution lookups. This argument accepts either a list of DNS servers or a list of hashes that configure the name server and VRF name or keyword 'default'. See examples. domain_lookup: description: - Enables or disables the DNS lookup feature in Cisco NXOS. This argument accepts boolean values. When enabled, the system will try to resolve hostnames using DNS and when disabled, hostnames will not be resolved. type: bool domain_search: description: - Configures a list of domain name suffixes to search when performing DNS name resolution. This argument accepts either a list of domain names or a list of dicts that configure the domain name and VRF name or keyword 'default'. See examples.
commands: description: The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device returned: always sample: - hostname nxos01 - ip domain-name test.example.com type: list
