mode	str	False	merge	merge override delete	Allow to save topology or not.
configlet_filter	list	False	[‘none’]		Filter to apply intended set of configlet on containers. If not used, then module only uses ADD mode. configlet_filter list configlets that can be modified or deleted based on configlets entries.
