Synopsis

Sends arbitrary commands to a Extreme Ironware node and returns the results read from the device. This module includes a wait_for argument that will cause the module to wait for a specific condition before returning or timing out if the condition is not met.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
authorize boolean		Choices: no ← yes	Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.7 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` and `become: yes`. For more information please see the IronWare Platform Options guide. Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE` will be used instead.
commands string / required			List of commands to send to the remote device over the configured provider. The resulting output from the command is returned. If the wait_for argument is provided, the module is not returned until the condition is satisfied or the number of retires as expired.
interval string		Default: 1	Configures the interval in seconds to wait between retries of the command. If the command does not pass the specified conditions, the interval indicates how long to wait before trying the command again.
match string		Choices: any all ←	The match argument is used in conjunction with the wait_for argument to specify the match policy. If the value is set to `all` then all conditionals in the wait_for must be satisfied. If the value is set to `any` then only one of the values must be satisfied.
provider dictionary			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.7 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` and `become: yes`. For more information please see the IronWare Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	auth_pass string		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 boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE` will be used instead.
	host string		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.
	password string		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
	port integer	Default: 22	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	timeout integer	Default: 10	Specifies idle timeout in seconds for the connection, in seconds. Useful if the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations.
	username string		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
retries string		Default: 10	Specifies the number of retries a command should by tried before it is considered failed. The command is run on the target device every retry and evaluated against the wait_for conditions.
wait_for string			List of conditions to evaluate against the output of the command. The task will wait for each condition to be true before moving forward. If the conditional is not true within the configured number of retries, the task fails. See examples.
