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 version_added: 2.5.3 version_added_collection: cisco.nxos 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 version_added: 2.5.3 version_added_collection: cisco.nxos 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. required: true 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: default: 0 (use common 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.

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: default: 10 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.
