src: description: - The I(src) argument provides a path to the configuration file to load into the remote system. - The path can either be a full system path to the configuration file if the value starts with /, or relative to the root of the implemented role or playbook. - This argument is mutually exclusive with the I(lines) and I(parents) arguments. type: path mode: description: - The permissions the resulting filesystem object should have. - For those used to I(/usr/bin/chmod) remember that modes are actually octal numbers. You must give Ansible enough information to parse them correctly. For consistent results, quote octal numbers (for example, V('644') or V('1777')) so Ansible receives a string and can do its own conversion from string into number. Adding a leading zero (for example, V(0755)) works sometimes, but can fail in loops and some other circumstances. - Giving Ansible a number without following either of these rules will end up with a decimal number which will have unexpected results. - As of Ansible 1.8, the mode may be specified as a symbolic mode (for example, V(u+rwx) or V(u=rw,g=r,o=r)). - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does not) exist, the default C(umask) on the system will be used when setting the mode for the newly created filesystem object. - If O(mode) is not specified and the destination filesystem object B(does) exist, the mode of the existing filesystem object will be used. - Specifying O(mode) is the best way to ensure filesystem objects are created with the correct permissions. See CVE-2020-1736 for further details. type: raw 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. elements: str type: list group: description: - Name of the group that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown). - When left unspecified, it uses the current group of the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. type: str lines: aliases: - commands description: - The ordered set of commands that should be configured in the section. - The commands must be the exact same as those 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. elements: str type: list 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. type: str owner: description: - Name of the user that should own the filesystem object, as would be fed to I(chown). - When left unspecified, it uses the current user unless you are root, in which case it can preserve the previous ownership. - Specifying a numeric username will be assumed to be a user ID and not a username. Avoid numeric usernames to avoid this confusion. type: str backup: default: 'false' 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. - The backup file is written to the C(backup) folder in the playbook root directory or role root directory, if playbook is part of an Ansible role. If the directory does not exist, it is created. type: bool before: description: - The ordered set of commands to push onto 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. elements: str type: list serole: description: - The role part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(role) portion of the policy if available. type: str setype: description: - The type part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(type) portion of the policy if available. type: str seuser: description: - The user part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - By default it uses the V(system) policy, where applicable. - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(user) portion of the policy if available. type: str parents: description: - The ordered set of parents that uniquely identify the section or hierarchy against which to compare the commands. - If the C(parents) argument is omitted, the commands are checked against the set of top level or global commands. elements: str type: list 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), the modified lines are pushed to the device in configuration mode. - If the replace argument is set to I(block), the entire command block is pushed to the device in configuration mode if any line is not correct. type: str selevel: description: - The level part of the SELinux filesystem object context. - This is the MLS/MCS attribute, sometimes known as the C(range). - When set to V(_default), it will use the C(level) portion of the policy if available. type: str save_when: choices: - always - never - modified - changed default: never description: - When changes are made to the device running-configuration, the changes are not copied to non-volatile storage by default. - If the argument is set to I(always), the running-config will always be copied to the startup-config and the I(modified) flag will always be set to C(True). - If the argument is set to I(modified), 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. - If the argument is set to I(changed), the running-config will only be copied to the startup-config if the task has made a change. type: str attributes: aliases: - attr description: - The attributes the resulting filesystem object should have. - To get supported flags look at the man page for I(chattr) on the target system. - This string should contain the attributes in the same order as the one displayed by I(lsattr). - The C(=) operator is assumed as default, otherwise C(+) or C(-) operators need to be included in the string. type: str version_added: '2.3' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin diff_against: choices: - startup - intended - running default: startup description: - When using the C(ansible-playbook --diff) command line argument, the module can generate diffs against different sources. - When this option is configured as I(startup), the module will return the diff of the running-config against the startup-config. - When this option is configured as I(intended), the module will return the diff of the running-config against the configuration provided in the C(intended_config) argument. - When this option is configured as I(running), the module will return the before and after diff of the running-config with respect to any changes made to the device configuration. type: str route_domain: default: 0 description: - Route domain on which to manage the BGP configuration. type: int unsafe_writes: default: false description: - Influence when to use atomic operation to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem object. - By default this module uses atomic operations to prevent data corruption or inconsistent reads from the target filesystem objects, but sometimes systems are configured or just broken in ways that prevent this. One example is docker mounted filesystem objects, which cannot be updated atomically from inside the container and can only be written in an unsafe manner. - This option allows Ansible to fall back to unsafe methods of updating filesystem objects when atomic operations fail (however, it doesn't force Ansible to perform unsafe writes). - IMPORTANT! Unsafe writes are subject to race conditions and can lead to data corruption. type: bool version_added: '2.2' version_added_collection: ansible.builtin 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, a I(backup) directory will be created in the current working directory and backup configuration will be copied in C(filename) within the I(backup) directory. type: path filename: description: - Name of the file you will use for storing the backup configuration. If the filename is not given, it will be generated based on the hostname, current time and date in the format defined by <hostname>_config.<current-date>@<current-time> type: str type: dict running_config: aliases: - config description: - By default, the module will connect to the remote device and retrieve the current running-config to use as a base for comparing against the contents of source. - There are times when you do not want to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. - The I(running_config) argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison. type: str intended_config: description: - The C(intended_config) provides the master configuration to which the node should conform and is used to compare against the final running-config. - This argument will not change any settings on the remote device. Only use this argument to compare against the compliance of the current device's configuration. - When specifying this argument, the task should also modify the C(diff_against) value and set it to I(intended). type: str allow_duplicates: default: 'false' description: - Allows duplicate commands to be sent to the device. This is to accommodate scenarios where address families are configured. - Only used with the C(lines) parameter. type: bool version_added: 1.2.0 version_added_collection: f5networks.f5_bigip diff_ignore_lines: description: - Use this argument to specify one or more lines that should be ignored during the diff. - This is used for lines in the configuration that are automatically updated by the system. - This argument takes a list of regular expressions or exact line matches. elements: str type: list
