COMPONENT NAME

frr.frr.frr_bgp

ANSIBLE VERSION

ansible [core 2.16.2]
  config file = /root/.ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /root/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /home/gabriel/.local/bin/ansible
  python version = 3.10.12 (main, Nov 20 2023, 15:14:05) [GCC 11.4.0] (/usr/bin/python3)

COLLECTION VERSION

# /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/ansible_collections
Collection Version
---------- -------
frr.frr    2.0.2

CONFIGURATION

CONFIG_FILE() = /root/.ansible.cfg
DEFAULT_HOST_LIST(/root/.ansible.cfg) = ['/root/.ansible-hosts']

OS / ENVIRONMENT

QEMU virtualized Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, latest updates, FRR 8.0

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

ansible-playbook frr_configure.yml on a new frr install. Only thing modified is the bgpd=yes instead of bgpd=no in the /etc/frr/deamon file.

---
- name: configure frr
  hosts: all
  remote_user: root
  
  tasks:
    - name: Configure global AS6500
      frr.frr.frr_bgp:
        config:
          bgp_as: 6500
        operation: merge

EXPECTED RESULTS

I exected to have no errors and see the line router bgp 6500 in my frr running config.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Got the error below :
