+module: nxos_get_ipv4_interface
+short_description: Gets ipv4 configuration for a particular interface
+description:
+    - Gets ipv4 configuration for a particular interface
+author: Jason Edelman (@jedelman8)
+requirements:
+    - NX-API 1.0
+    - NX-OS 6.1(2)I3(1)
+    - pycsco
+notes:
+    - Equivalent to using 'show ip interface $INTERFACEX/Y'
+    - While username and password are not required params, they are
+      if you are not using the .netauth file.  .netauth file is recommended
+      as it will clean up the each task in the playbook by not requiring
+      the username and password params for every tasks.
+    - Using the username and password params will override the .netauth file
+options:
