Inputs

    
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.

authorize:
    default: 'no'
    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

gather_subset:
    default: '!config'
    description:
    - When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset.  Possible
      values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces.  Can specify
      a list of values to include a larger subset.  Values can also be used with an initial
      C(M(!)) to specify that a specific subset should not be collected.
    required: false
