Notes
-----

.. note::
   - Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
   - Unsupported for Cisco MDS
   - The feature vpc must be enabled before this module can be used
   - If not using management vrf, vrf must be globally on the device before using in the pkl config
   - Although source IP isn't required on the command line it is required when using this module.  The PKL VRF must also be configured prior to using this module.
   - Both pkl_src and pkl_dest are needed when changing PKL VRF.
   - For information on using CLI and NX-API see the :ref:`NXOS Platform Options guide <nxos_platform_options>`
   - For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the :ref:`Ansible Network Guide <network_guide>`
   - For more information on using Ansible to manage Cisco devices see the `Cisco integration page <https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/cisco>`_.
