+short_description: Manages VXLAN Network Virtualization Endpoint (NVE)
+description:
+    - Manages VXLAN Network Virtualization Endpoint (NVE) overlay interface
+      that terminates VXLAN tunnels.
+author: Gabriele Gerbino (@GGabriele)
+extends_documentation_fragment: nxos
+notes:
+    - The module is used to manage NVE properties, not to create NVE
+      interfaces. Use nxos_interface if you wish to do so.
+    - State 'absent' removes the interface
+    - default, where supported, restores params default value
+options:
