        The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the following commands in order show running-config | include '^ip(v6* route') and show running-config | section '^vrf context'.
        
       
        The state parsed reads the configuration from  running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.

Notes
Note
- Tested against NX-OS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
 - Unsupported for Cisco MDS
 - When a route is configured for a non-existent VRF, the VRF is created and the route is added to it.
 - When deleting routes for a VRF, all routes inside the VRF are deleted, but the VRF is not deleted.
