The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. 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 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 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 authorize: 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 default: false 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 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 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 transport: 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 choices: - cli - nxapi default: cli use_ssl: 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 default: false validate_certs: 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 default: False use_proxy: description: - If C(no), the environment variables C(http_proxy) and C(https_proxy) will be ignored. type: bool default: true notes: - For information on using CLI and NX-API see the :ref:`NXOS Platform Options guide ` - For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the :ref:`Ansible Network Guide ` - For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the `Cisco integration page `_.
