This module provides configuration file management of VyOS devices. It provides arguments for managing both the configuration file and state of the active configuration. All configuration statements are based on set and delete commands in the device configuration.
The backup argument will backup the current devices active configuration to the Ansible control host prior to making any changes. The backup file will be located in the backup folder in the root of the playbook
