## Synopsis

- Retrieve the information about one or more of the Ethernet Networks from OneView.
- This module was called `oneview_ethernet_network_facts` before Ansible 2.9, returning `ansible_facts`. Note that the oneview_ethernet_network_info module no longer returns `ansible_facts`!

Aliases: oneview_ethernet_network_facts

## Requirements

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

- hpOneView >= 2.0.1
- python >= 2.7.9

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---

config
path

Path to a .json configuration file containing the OneView client configuration. The configuration file is optional and when used should be present in the host running the ansible commands. If the file path is not provided, the configuration will be loaded from environment variables. For links to example configuration files or how to use the environment variables verify the notes section.

name - |  | Ethernet Network name.
options - |  | List with options to gather additional information about an Ethernet Network and related resources. Options allowed: `associatedProfiles` and `associatedUplinkGroups`.
params dictionary |  | List of params to delimit, filter and sort the list of resources. params allowed: - `start`: The first item to return, using 0-based indexing. - `count`: The number of resources to return. - `filter`: A general filter/query string to narrow the list of items returned. - `sort`: The sort order of the returned data set.

    - name: Gather information about an Ethernet Network by name with options
      oneview_ethernet_network_info:
        config: /etc/oneview/oneview_config.json
        name: eth1
        options:
          - associatedProfiles
          - associatedUplinkGroups
