NXOS Ansible Playbook – Interface Configuration Guide

ansibleciscocisco-nx-osNetwork

Last few days i am playing with cisco nexus switch to deploy config using nxos ansible modules to make it automate.

I am running n3000-uk9-kickstart.6.0.2.U6.6.bin software and here is my playbook snippet where i am trying to configure switch ports.

- name: L2 config for all ports 
      nxos_switchport: interface={{ item }} mode=trunk trunk_vlans=10-11
      with_items:
        - Ethernet1/49
        - Ethernet1/50

my whole playbook run clean without issue but i am only seeing following change, it didn't configure allowed vlans

interface Ethernet1/49
  switchport mode trunk

interface Ethernet1/50
  switchport mode trunk

if this module doesn't work then what other option i have? is there any module i can run and execute arbitrary command line by like?
