New in version 2.1.
Use to enable or disable EAPI access, and set the port and state of http, https, localHttp and unix-socket servers. When enabling EAPI access the default is to enable HTTP on port 80, enable HTTPS on port 443, disable local HTTP, and disable Unix socket server. Use the options listed below to override the default configuration. Requires EOS v4.12 or greater.
parameter | required | default | choices | comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
auth_pass |
no | none | Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead. | |
authorize |
no |
|
Instructs the module to enter priviledged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to excecute all commands in non-priviledged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead. | |
host |
yes | 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. | ||
http |
no | True | Enable HTTP server access. aliases: enable_http | |
http_port |
no | 80 | Port on which the HTTP server will listen. | |
https |
no | True | Enable HTTPS server access. aliases: enable_https | |
https_port |
no | 443 | Port on which the HTTPS server will listen. | |
local_http |
no | Enable local HTTP server access. aliases: enable_local_http | ||
local_http_port |
no | 8080 | Port on which the local HTTP server will listen. | |
password |
no | Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or eapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. | ||
port |
no | 0 (use common port) | Specifies the port to use when buiding the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or eapi. The port value will default to the approriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443). | |
provider |
no | Convience method that allows all eos arguments to be passed as a dict object. All constraints (required, choices, etc) must be met either by individual arguments or values in this dict. | ||
socket |
no | Enable Unix socket server access. aliases: enable_socket | ||
ssh_keyfile |
no | Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. | ||
state |
no | started |
|
Set to started or stopped. A state of started will enable EAPI access, and a state of stopped will disable or shutdown all EAPI access. |
transport |
yes | cli | Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or eapi. | |
use_ssl |
no | True |
|
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the transport argument is configured as eapi. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored |
username |
no | Configures the usename to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. The value of username is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |
