Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of L3 interfaces on VyOS network devices.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
aggregate		List of L3 interfaces definitions
ipv4		IPv4 of the L3 interface.
ipv6		IPv6 of the L3 interface.
name		Name of the L3 interface.
provider		Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli`. For more information please see the Network 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 the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` 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.
ssh_keyfile		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
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.
password		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
port	Default: 22	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
state	Choices: present ← absent	State of the L3 interface configuration.

Notes ¶

Note

Tested against VYOS 1.1.7
For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the Ansible Network Guide

Examples ¶

- name: Set eth0 IPv4 address
  vyos_l3_interface:
    name: eth0
    ipv4: 192.168.0.1/24

- name: Remove eth0 IPv4 address
  vyos_l3_interface:
    name: eth0
    state: absent

- name: Set IP addresses on aggregate
  vyos_l3_interface:
    aggregate:
      - { name: eth1, ipv4: 192.168.2.10/24 }
      - { name: eth2, ipv4: 192.168.3.10/24, ipv6: "fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64" }

- name: Remove IP addresses on aggregate
  vyos_l3_interface:
    aggregate:
      - { name: eth1, ipv4: 192.168.2.10/24 }
      - { name: eth2, ipv4: 192.168.3.10/24, ipv6: "fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64" }
    state: absent

Return Values ¶

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
commands list	always, except for the platforms that use Netconf transport to manage the device.	The list of configuration mode commands to send to the device Sample: ["set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '192.168.0.1/24'"]
