************************
cisco.iosxr.iosxr_config
************************
**Module to manage configuration sections.**
Version added: 1.0.0
.. contents::
:local:
:depth: 1
Synopsis
--------
- Cisco IOS XR configurations use a simple block indent file syntax for segmenting configuration into sections. This module provides an implementation for working with IOS XR configuration sections in a deterministic way.
Parameters

<div>The module, by default, 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 it is not desirable to have the task get the current running-config for every task in a playbook. The <em>config</em> argument allows the implementer to pass in the configuration to use as the base config for comparison. The configuration lines for this option should be similar to how it will appear if present in the running-configuration of the device to ensure idempotency and correct diff.</div>

Notes
-----
.. note::
- This module works with connection ``network_cli``. See `the IOS-XR Platform Options <../network/user_guide/platform_iosxr.html>`_.
- This module does not support ``netconf`` connection
- Abbreviated commands are NOT idempotent, see L(Network FAQ,../network/user_guide/faq.html
- Avoid service disrupting changes (viz. Management IP) from config replace.
- Do not use ``end`` in the replace config file.
- To ensure idempotency and correct diff the configuration lines in the relevant module options should be similar to how they appear if present in the running configuration on device including the indentation.
- For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the :ref:`Ansible Network Guide <network_guide>`
- For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the `Cisco integration page <https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/cisco>`_.
