## Synopsis

- Add or Remove a subnet to an OpenStack network

## Requirements

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

- openstacksdk
- openstacksdk >= 0.12.0
- python >= 2.7

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
allocation_pool_end - |  | From the subnet pool the last IP that should be assigned to the virtual machines.
allocation_pool_start - |  | From the subnet pool the starting address from which the IP should be allocated.
api_timeout integer |  | How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth dictionary |  | Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains (for example, os_user_domain_name or os_project_domain_name) if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type string |  | Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone - |  | Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
ca_cert string |  | A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests. aliases: cacert
cidr - |  | The CIDR representation of the subnet that should be assigned to the subnet. Required when state is 'present' and a subnetpool is not specified.
client_cert string |  | A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: cert
client_key string |  | A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction. aliases: key
cloud raw |  | Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
dns_nameservers - |  | List of DNS nameservers for this subnet.
enable_dhcp boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Whether DHCP should be enabled for this subnet.
extra_specs - added in 2.7 | Default: {} | Dictionary with extra key/value pairs passed to the API
gateway_ip - |  | The ip that would be assigned to the gateway for this subnet
host_routes - |  | A list of host route dictionaries for the subnet.
interface string | Choices: admin internal public ← | Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
ip_version - | Default: 4 | The IP version of the subnet 4 or 6
ipv6_address_mode - | Choices: dhcpv6-stateful dhcpv6-stateless slaac | IPv6 address mode
ipv6_ra_mode - | Choices: dhcpv6-stateful dhcpv6-stateless slaac | IPv6 router advertisement mode
name - / required |  | The name of the subnet that should be created. Although Neutron allows for non-unique subnet names, this module enforces subnet name uniqueness.
network_name - |  | Name of the network to which the subnet should be attached Required when state is 'present'
no_gateway_ip boolean | Choices: no ← yes | The gateway IP would not be assigned for this subnet
project - |  | Project name or ID containing the subnet (name admin-only)
region_name string |  | Name of the region.
state - | Choices: present ← absent | Indicate desired state of the resource
timeout integer | Default: 180 | How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
use_default_subnetpool boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Use the default subnetpool for ip_version to obtain a CIDR.
validate_certs boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before Ansible 2.3 this defaulted to `yes`. aliases: verify
wait boolean | Choices: no yes ← | Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

## Notes

Note

- The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as `OS_USERNAME` may be used instead of providing explicit values.
- Auth information is driven by openstacksdk, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/openstacksdk/

## Examples

    # Create a new (or update an existing) subnet on the specified network
    - os_subnet:
        state: present
        network_name: network1
        name: net1subnet
        cidr: 192.168.0.0/24
        dns_nameservers:
           - 8.8.8.7
           - 8.8.8.8
        host_routes:
           - destination: 0.0.0.0/0
             nexthop: 12.34.56.78
           - destination: 192.168.0.0/24
             nexthop: 192.168.0.1

    # Delete a subnet
    - os_subnet:
        state: absent
        name: net1subnet

    # Create an ipv6 stateless subnet
    - os_subnet:
        state: present
        name: intv6
        network_name: internal
        ip_version: 6
        cidr: 2db8:1::/64
        dns_nameservers:
            - 2001:4860:4860::8888
            - 2001:4860:4860::8844
        ipv6_ra_mode: dhcpv6-stateless
        ipv6_address_mode: dhcpv6-stateless
