To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.ios.ios_vlans.

New in cisco.ios 1.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module provides declarative management of VLANs on Cisco IOS network devices.

Aliases: vlans

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

config

list / elements=dictionary

A dictionary of VLANs options

member

dictionary

Members of VLAN

evi

integer

Ethernet Virtual Private Network (EVPN)

vni

integer / required

VXLAN vni

mtu

integer

VLAN Maximum Transmission Unit.

Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.

name

string

Ascii name of the VLAN.

NOTE, name should not be named/appended with default as it is reserved for device default vlans.

private_vlan

dictionary

Options for private vlan configuration.

associated

list / elements=integer

List of private VLANs associated with the primary . Only works with `type: primary`.

type

string

Private VLAN type

Choices:

  • "primary"

  • "isolated"

  • "community"

remote_span

boolean

Configure as Remote SPAN VLAN

Choices:

  • false

  • true

shutdown

string

Shutdown VLAN switching.

Choices:

  • "enabled"

  • "disabled"

state

string

Operational state of the VLAN

Choices:

  • "active"

  • "suspend"

vlan_id

integer / required

ID of the VLAN. Range 1-4094

running_config

string

This option is used only with state parsed.

The value of this option should be the output received from the IOS device by executing the command show vlan.

The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module’s argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result.

state

string

The state the configuration should be left in

The states rendered, gathered and parsed does not perform any change on the device.

The state rendered will transform the configuration in config option to platform specific CLI commands which will be returned in the rendered key within the result. For state rendered active connection to remote host is not required.

The state gathered will fetch the running configuration from device and transform it into structured data in the format as per the resource module argspec and the value is returned in the gathered key within the result.

The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into JSON format as per the resource module parameters and the value is returned in the parsed key within the result. The value of running_config option should be the same format as the output of commands show vlan and show running-config | sec ^vlan configuration .+ executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required.

Choices:

  • "merged" ← (default)

  • "replaced"

  • "overridden"

  • "deleted"

  • "rendered"

  • "gathered"

  • "purged"

  • "parsed"

Return Values

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

Key

Description

after

dictionary

The resulting configuration after module execution.

Returned: when changed

Sample: "This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"

before

dictionary

The configuration prior to the module execution.

Returned: when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged

Sample: "This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"

commands

list / elements=string

The set of commands pushed to the remote device.

Returned: when state is merged, replaced, overridden, deleted or purged

Sample: ["vlan configuration 202", "state active", "remote-span"]

gathered

list / elements=string

Facts about the network resource gathered from the remote device as structured data.

Returned: when state is gathered

Sample: ["This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"]

parsed

list / elements=string

The device native config provided in running_config option parsed into structured data as per module argspec.

Returned: when state is parsed

Sample: ["This output will always be in the same format as the module argspec.\n"]

rendered

list / elements=string

The provided configuration in the task rendered in device-native format (offline).

Returned: when state is rendered

Sample: ["vlan configuration 202", "member evpn-instance 202 vni 10202", "vlan 200"]
