Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_host

string / required

Specify the target host of the Proxmox VE cluster.

Uses the PROXMOX_HOST environment variable if not specified.

api_password

string

Specify the password to authenticate with.

Uses the PROXMOX_PASSWORD environment variable if not specified.

api_port

integer

Specify the target port of the Proxmox VE cluster.

Uses the PROXMOX_PORT environment variable if not specified.

api_token_id

string

Specify the token ID.

Uses the PROXMOX_TOKEN_ID environment variable if not specified.

api_token_secret

string

Specify the token secret.

Uses the PROXMOX_TOKEN_SECRET environment variable if not specified.

api_user

string / required

Specify the user to authenticate with.

Uses the PROXMOX_USER environment variable if not specified.

check_changes

boolean

Whether to check for pending network configuration changes.

When enabled, the module will return only information about any staged changes that are waiting to be applied.

When disabled (default), the module will return network interface information.

This parameter cannot be used together with iface or iface_type parameters, as checking for pending changes is a node-level operation.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

iface

string

Name of a specific network interface to retrieve information for.

If not specified, information for all interfaces will be returned.

iface_type

string

Filter results by interface type.

Choices:

  • "bridge"

  • "bond"

  • "eth"

  • "vlan"

  • "OVSBridge"

  • "OVSBond"

  • "OVSPort"

  • "OVSIntPort"

node

string / required

The Proxmox node to retrieve network interface information from.

validate_certs

boolean

If false, SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Uses the PROXMOX_VALIDATE_CERTS environment variable if not specified.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true
