|
aggregate
|
|
List of Interfaces definitions. Each of the entry in aggregate list should define name of interface
name and other options as required. |
|
auth_pass
|
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli and become: yes with become_pass.This option is only required if you are using eAPI.
For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide.
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead. |

authorize
|
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli and become: yes.This option is only required if you are using eAPI.
For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide.
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead. |
|
delay
|
Default:
10
|
Time in seconds to wait before checking for the operational state on remote device. This wait is applicable for operational state argument which are state with values
up/down, tx_rate and rx_rate. |
|
description
|
|
Description of Interface upto 240 characters.
|
|
enabled
|
Default:
yes
|
Interface link status. If the value is True the interface state will be enabled, else if value is False interface will be in disable (shutdown) state.
|
|
mtu
|
|
Set maximum transmission unit size in bytes of transmit packet for the interface given in
name option. |
|
name
required |
|
Name of the Interface to be configured on remote device. The name of interface should be in expanded format and not abbreviated.
|
|
neighbors
|
|
Check the operational state of given interface
name for LLDP neighbor.The following suboptions are available.
|
|
host
|
|
LLDP neighbor host for given interface
name. |
|
port
|
|
LLDP neighbor port to which given interface
name is connected. |
|
provider
|
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli.This option is only required if you are using eAPI.
For more information please see the EOS Platform Options guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
|
|
username
|
|
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the eAPI authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |
|
authorize
|
|
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead. |
|
ssh_keyfile
|
|
Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
|
use_proxy
(added in 2.5) |
|
If
no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. |
|
auth_pass
|
|
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead. |
|
host
required |
|
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
|
|
timeout
|
Default:
10
|
Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
|
|
use_ssl
|
|
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to true only when the
transport=eapi. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. |
|
password
|
|
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or eapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. |
|
validate_certs
|
|
If
no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. |
|
port
|
Default:
0 (use common port)
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or eapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443).
|
|
transport
required |
|
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
|
|
rx_rate
|
|
Receiver rate in bits per second (bps) for the interface given in
name option.This is state check parameter only.
Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
|
|
speed
|
|
This option configures autoneg and speed/duplex/flowcontrol for the interface given in
name option. |
|
state
|
|
State of the Interface configuration,
up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down |
|
tx_rate
|
|
Transmit rate in bits per second (bps) for the interface given in
name option.This is state check parameter only.
Supports conditionals, see Conditionals in Networking Modules
