        The provided link BGP address family dictionary.
         | 
     ||
| address_prefixes
        
        list / elements=string
         | 
      
        
        Specify address prefixes.
         | 
     ||
| dynamic_db
        
        boolean
         | 
      
       
  | 
      
        
        Enable object to exist in dynamic DB.
         |

        string / required
         | 
      
        
        Specify the name of the prefix-list.
         | 
     ||
| running_config
        
        string
         | 
      
        
        This option is used only with state parsed.
        
       
        The value of this option should be the output received from the Junos device by executing the command show policy-options.
        
       
        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
        | 
     ||
| state
        
        string
         |
