Notes
Note
- Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
 - Unsupported for Cisco MDS
 state=absentremoves the whole BGP address-family’s neighbor configuration.- Default, when supported, removes properties
 - In order to default maximum-prefix configuration, only 
max_prefix_limit=defaultis needed. - For information on using CLI and NX-API see the NXOS Platform Options guide
 - For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide
