Would anyone happen to know if the ansible\_port variable is accessible anywhere in this module? I’d like to make an update (for personal use) that differentiates an action based on port. Thanks for any info!

If I understand the question correctly you want to access port value within network\_cli.py, if yes you can do it by accessing  
self.\_play\_context.port
