Set IPv6 network configuration for specific interface.

Version added: 2.0.0

Synopsis

  • Set IPv6 network configuration for specific interface.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • vSphere 7.0.3 or greater
  • python >= 3.6
  • aiohttp

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
addresses
list / elements=dictionary / required
The list of addresses to be statically assigned. This parameter is mandatory.
Valid attributes are:
- address (str): The IPv6 address, for example, fc00:10:20:83:20c:29ff:fe94:bb5a. (['set'])
This key is required with ['set'].
- prefix (int): The IPv6 CIDR prefix, for example, 64. (['set'])
This key is required with ['set'].
autoconf
boolean / required
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
An address will be assigned by Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). This parameter is mandatory.
default_gateway
string / required
The default gateway for static IP address assignment. This configures the global IPv6 default gateway on the appliance with the specified gateway address and interface. This gateway replaces the existing default gateway configured on the appliance. However, if the gateway address is link-local, then it is added for that interface. This does not support configuration of multiple global default gateways through different interfaces. This parameter is mandatory.
dhcp
boolean / required
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
An address will be assigned by a DHCP server. This parameter is mandatory.
interface_name
string / required
Network interface to update, for example, "nic0".
The parameter must be the id of a resource returned by vmware.vmware_rest.appliance_networking_interfaces_info. This parameter is mandatory.
session_timeout
float
added in 2.1.0
Timeout settings for client session.
The maximal number of seconds for the whole operation including connection establishment, request sending and response.
The default value is 300s.
state
string
    Choices:
  • set ←
vcenter_hostname
string / required
The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_HOST will be used instead.
vcenter_password
string / required
The vSphere vCenter password
If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable VMWARE_PASSWORD will be used instead.
vcenter_rest_log_file
string
