Notes
-----

.. note::
   - Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
   - Cisco NX-OS creates the default VRF by itself. Therefore, you're not allowed to use default as *vrf* name in this module.
   - ``vrf`` name must be shorter than 32 chars.
   - VRF names are not case sensible in NX-OS. Anyway, the name is stored just like it's inserted by the user and it'll not be changed again unless the VRF is removed and re-created. i.e. ``vrf=NTC`` will create a VRF named NTC, but running it again with ``vrf=ntc`` will not cause a configuration change.
   - 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>`_.
