ordnance_facts – Collect facts from Ordnance Virtual Routers over SSH
New in version 2.3.
Synopsis
- Collects a base set of device facts from an Ordnance Virtual router over SSH. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with 
ansible_net_<fact>. The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.
