Synopsis
Set IPv6 network configuration for specific interface
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| vcenter_hostname | string | yes | The hostname or IP address of the vSphere vCenter | |
| If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_HOST) will be used instead. | ||||
| vcenter_username | string | yes | The vSphere vCenter username | |
| If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_USER) will be used instead. | ||||
| vcenter_password | string | yes | The vSphere vCenter password | |
| If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_PASSWORD) will be used instead. | ||||
| vcenter_validate_certs | bool | true | Allows connection when SSL certificates are not valid. Set to C(false) when certificates are not trusted. | |
| If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(VMWARE_VALIDATE_CERTS) will be used instead. | ||||
| vcenter_rest_log_file | string | You can use this optional parameter to set the location of a log file. | ||
| This file will be used to record the HTTP REST interaction. | ||||
| The file will be stored on the host that runs the module. | ||||
| If the value is not specified in the task, the value of | ||||
| environment variable C(VMWARE_REST_LOG_FILE) will be used instead. | ||||
| session_timeout | float | 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. | ||||
| addresses | list | yes | The list of addresses to be statically assigned. This parameter is mandatory. | |
| Valid attributes are: |
- C(address) (str): The IPv6 address, for example, fc00:10:20:83:20c:29ff:fe94:bb5a. ([‘set’]) This key is required with [‘set’].
- C(prefix) (int): The IPv6 CIDR prefix, for example, 64. ([‘set’])
This key is required with [‘set’]. |
| autoconf | bool | yes | | An address will be assigned by Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). This parameter is mandatory. |
| default_gateway | string | yes | | 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 | bool | yes | | An address will be assigned by a DHCP server. This parameter is mandatory. |
| interface_name | string | yes | | Network interface to update, for example, “nic0”.
The parameter must be the id of a resource returned by M(vmware.vmware_rest.appliance_networking_interfaces_info). This parameter is mandatory. |
| state | string | |
set| Operation to perform; allowed values: set. |
