New in version 2.5.
| Removed in Ansible: | |
|---|---|
| version: 2.13 | |
| Why: | Updated modules released with more functionality |
| Alternative: | eos_interfaces |
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| aggregate list | List of Interfaces definitions. Each of the entry in aggregate list should define name of interface name and other options as required. | ||
| auth_pass string | 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 boolean |
| 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 integer | 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 string | Description of Interface upto 240 characters. | ||
| enabled boolean |
| 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 string | Set maximum transmission unit size in bytes of transmit packet for the interface given in name option. | ||
| name string / required | Name of the Interface to be configured on remote device. The name of interface should be in expanded format and not abbreviated. | ||
| neighbors list | 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 dictionary | 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. | ||
| auth_pass string | 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 boolean |
| 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. | |
| host string / 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. | ||
| password string | 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. | ||
| port integer | Default: 0 | 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). | |
| ssh_keyfile path | 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. | ||
| timeout integer | 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. | ||
| transport string / required |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
| use_proxy boolean added in 2.5 |
| If no, the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. | |
| use_ssl boolean |
| Configures the transport to use SSL if set to yes only when the transport=eapi. If the transport argument is not eapi, this value is ignored. | |
| username string | 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. | ||
| validate_certs boolean |
| 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. | |
| rx_rate string | 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 string | This option configures autoneg and speed/duplex/flowcontrol for the interface given in name option. | ||
| state string |
| State of the Interface configuration, up means present and operationally up and down means present and operationally down
| |
| tx_rate string | 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
| ||
