cisco.ios.ios_lldp_global module – Resource module to configure LLDP.

Note

This module is part of the cisco.ios collection (version 8.0.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.ios.

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

New in cisco.ios 1.0.0

Synopsis 

This module configures and manages the Link Layer Discovery Protocol(LLDP) attributes on IOS platforms.

Aliases: lldp_global

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
config dictionary	A dictionary of LLDP options
enabled boolean	Enable LLDP Choices: `false` `true`
holdtime integer	LLDP holdtime (in sec) to be sent in packets. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
reinit integer	Specify the delay (in secs) for LLDP to initialize. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values. NOTE, if LLDP reinit is configured with a starting value, idempotency won’t be maintained as the Cisco device doesn’t record the starting reinit configured value. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective starting reinit value is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply starting reinit value in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True. For any other reinit value, idempotency will be maintained since any other reinit value is recorded in the Cisco device.
timer integer	Specify the rate at which LLDP packets are sent (in sec). Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
tlv_select dictionary	Selection of LLDP TLVs i.e. type-length-value to send NOTE, if tlv-select is configured idempotency won’t be maintained as Cisco device doesn’t record configured tlv-select options. As such, Ansible cannot verify if the respective tlv-select options is already configured or not from the device side. If you try to apply tlv-select option in every play run, Ansible will show changed as True.
four_wire_power_management boolean	Cisco 4-wire Power via MDI TLV Choices: `false` `true`
mac_phy_cfg boolean	IEEE 802.3 MAC/Phy Configuration/status TLV Choices: `false` `true`
management_address boolean	Management Address TLV Choices: `false` `true`
port_description boolean	Port Description TLV Choices: `false` `true`
port_vlan boolean	Port VLAN ID TLV Choices: `false` `true`
power_management boolean	IEEE 802.3 DTE Power via MDI TLV Choices: `false` `true`
system_capabilities boolean	System Capabilities TLV Choices: `false` `true`
system_description boolean	System Description TLV Choices: `false` `true`
system_name boolean	System Name TLV Choices: `false` `true`
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 running-config \| section ^lldp. 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 module have declaratively similar behavior for replaced and overridden state. 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 command show running-config \| include ip route\|ipv6 route executed on device. For state parsed active connection to remote host is not required. Choices: `"merged"` ← (default) `"replaced"` `"overridden"` `"deleted"` `"rendered"` `"gathered"` `"parsed"`
