collections:
- name: community.general
version: 0.1.1Extreme Ironware configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with Ironware configuration sections in a deterministic way.

src:
description:
- Specifies the source path to the file that contains the configuration or configuration
template to load. The path to the source file can either be the full path on the
Ansible control host or a relative path from the playbook or role root directory. This
argument is mutually exclusive with I(lines), I(parents).
after:
description:
- The ordered set of commands to append to the end of the command stack if a change
needs to be made. Just like with I(before) this allows the playbook designer to
append a set of commands to be executed after the command set.
lines:
aliases:
- commands
description:
- The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. The commands
must be the exact same commands as found in the device running-config. Be sure
to note the configuration command syntax as some commands are automatically modified
by the device config parser.
match:
choices:
- line
- strict
- exact
- none
default: line
description:
- Instructs the module on the way to perform the matching of the set of commands against
the current device config. If match is set to I(line), commands are matched line
by line. If match is set to I(strict), command lines are matched with respect to
position. If match is set to I(exact), command lines must be an equal match. Finally,
if match is set to I(none), the module will not attempt to compare the source configuration
with the running configuration on the remote device.
backup:
default: 'no'
description:
- This argument will cause the module to create a full backup of the current C(running-config)
from the remote device before any changes are made. If the C(backup_options) value
is not given, the backup file is written to the C(backup) folder in the playbook
root directory. If the directory does not exist, it is created.
type: bool
before:
description:
- The ordered set of commands to push on to the command stack if a change needs to
be made. This allows the playbook designer the opportunity to perform configuration
commands prior to pushing any changes without affecting how the set of commands
are matched against the system
commit:
choices:
- merge
- check
default: merge
description:
- This argument specifies the update method to use when applying the configuration
changes to the remote node. If the value is set to I(merge) the configuration updates
are merged with the running- config. If the value is set to I(check), no changes
are made to the remote host.
config:
description:
- The C(config) argument allows the playbook designer to supply the base configuration
to be used to validate configuration changes necessary. If this argument is provided,
the module will not download the running-config from the remote node.
update:
choices:
- merge
- check
default: merge
description:
- The I(update) argument controls how the configuration statements are processed on
the remote device. Valid choices for the I(update) argument are I(merge) and I(check). When
the argument is set to I(merge), the configuration changes are merged with the current
device running configuration. When the argument is set to I(check) the configuration
updates are determined but not actually configured on the remote device.
parents:
description:
- The ordered set of parents that uniquely identify the section the commands should
be checked against. If the parents argument is omitted, the commands are checked
against the set of top level or global commands.
replace:
choices:
- line
- block
default: line
description:
- Instructs the module on the way to perform the configuration on the device. If
the replace argument is set to I(line) then the modified lines are pushed to the
device in configuration mode. If the replace argument is set to I(block) then the
entire command block is pushed to the device in configuration mode if any line is
not correct

- 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
value is used to authenticate the SSH session. 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: 22
description:
- Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
type: int
ssh_keyfile:
description:
- Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This
value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value
is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE)
will be used instead.
type: path
timeout:
default: 10
description:
- Specifies idle timeout in seconds for the connection, in seconds. Useful if
the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations.
type: int
username:
description:
- Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote
device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is
not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME)
will be used instead.
type: str
type: dict
authorize:
default: false

yes).'
- For more information please see the L(IronWare Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_ironware.html).
- HORIZONTALLINE
- 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
save_when:
choices:
- always
- never
- modified
default: never
description:
- When changes are made to the device running-configuration, the changes are not copied
to non-volatile storage by default. Using this argument will change that before. If
the argument is set to I(always), then the running-config will always be copied
to the startup-config and the I(modified) flag will always be set to True. If the
argument is set to I(modified), then the running-config will only be copied to the
startup-config if it has changed since the last save to startup-config. If the
argument is set to I(never), the running-config will never be copied to the startup-config
backup_options:
description:
- This is a dict object containing configurable options related to backup file path.
The value of this option is read only when C(backup) is set to I(yes), if C(backup)
is set to I(no) this option will be silently ignored.
suboptions:
dir_path:
description:
- This option provides the path ending with directory name in which the backup
configuration file will be stored. If the directory does not exist it will be
first created and the filename is either the value of C(filename) or default
filename as described in C(filename) options description. If the path value
is not given in that case a I(backup) directory will be created in the current
working directory and backup configuration will be copied in C(filename) within
I(backup) directory.
type: path
filename:
description:
- The filename to be used to store the backup configuration. If the filename is
not given it will be generated based on the hostname, current time and date
in format defined by <hostname>_config.<current-date>@<current-time>
type: dict
