Hi all,

I’m running into problems with nxos\_vlan vlan removal on cisco nexus 9K. Works ok on 5k. For the 9k, ansible seems to try VXLAN commands when not configured for VXLAN.

“10.6.0.81”: {  
“\_ansible\_no\_log”: false,  
“\_ansible\_parsed”: true,  
“action”: “nxos\_vlan”,  
“changed”: false,  
“failed”: true,  
“invocation”: {  
“module\_args”: {  
“admin\_state”: “up”,  
“aggregate”: null,  
“associated\_interfaces”: null,  
“auth\_pass”: null,  
“authorize”: null,  
“delay”: 10,  
“host”: null,  
“interfaces”: null,  
“mapped\_vni”: null,  
“mode”: null,  
“name”: “DEPTTEST-SF-TEST-dmz2”,  
“password”: null,  
“port”: null,  
“provider”: null,  
“purge”: false,  
“ssh\_keyfile”: null,  
“state”: “absent”,  
“timeout”: null,  
“transport”: null,  
“use\_ssl”: null,  
“username”: null,  
“validate\_certs”: null,  
“vlan\_id”: 53,  
“vlan\_range”: null,  
“vlan\_state”: “active”  
}  
},  
“msg”: "no vn-segment\r\r\n ^\r\n% Invalid command at ‘^’ marker.\r\n\rEDC-SF-LAB-9504-81(config-vlan)# "

Here’s a 5k result:

“10.6.0.78”: {  
“\_ansible\_no\_log”: false,  
“\_ansible\_parsed”: true,  
“action”: “nxos\_vlan”,  
“changed”: true,  
“commands”: [  
“no vlan 53”  
],  
“invocation”: {  
“module\_args”: {  
“admin\_state”: “up”,  
“aggregate”: null,  
“associated\_interfaces”: null,  
“auth\_pass”: null,  
“authorize”: null,  
“delay”: 10,  
“host”: null,  
“interfaces”: null,  
“mapped\_vni”: null,  
“mode”: null,  
“name”: “DEPTTEST-SF-TEST-dmz2”,  
“password”: null,  
“port”: null,  
“provider”: null,  
“purge”: false,  
“ssh\_keyfile”: null,  
“state”: “absent”,  
“timeout”: null,  
“transport”: null,  
“use\_ssl”: null,  
“username”: null,  
“validate\_certs”: null,  
“vlan\_id”: 53,  
“vlan\_range”: null,  
“vlan\_state”: “active”  
}  
}  
},

Does this seem like a bug ?

Regards,

Rick
