Synopsis

• Manages global VPC configuration

Aliases: vpc

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
auto_recovery boolean	Enables/Disables auto recovery on platforms that support disable timers are not modifiable with this attribute mutually exclusive with auto_recovery_reload_delay Choices: false true
auto_recovery_reload_delay string	Manages auto-recovery reload-delay timer in seconds mutually exclusive with auto_recovery
delay_restore string	manages delay restore command and config value in seconds
delay_restore_interface_vlan string	manages delay restore interface-vlan command and config value in seconds not supported on all platforms
delay_restore_orphan_port string	manages delay restore orphan-port command and config value in seconds not supported on all platforms
domain string / required	VPC domain
peer_gw boolean	Enables/Disables peer gateway Choices: false true
pkl_dest string	Destination (remote) IP address used for peer keepalive link pkl_dest is required whenever pkl options are used.
pkl_src string	Source IP address used for peer keepalive link
pkl_vrf string	VRF used for peer keepalive link The VRF must exist on the device before using pkl_vrf. (Note) ‘default’ is an overloaded term: Default vrf context for pkl_vrf is ‘management’; ‘pkl_vrf: default’ refers to the literal ‘default’ rib.
role_priority string	Role priority for device. Remember lower is better.
state string	Manages desired state of the resource Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
system_priority string	System priority device. Remember they must match between peers.

Notes

Note

• Tested against NXOSv 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL

• Unsupported for Cisco MDS

• The feature vpc must be enabled before this module can be used

• If not using management vrf, vrf must be globally on the device before using in the pkl config

• Although source IP isn’t required on the command line it is required when using this module. The PKL VRF must also be configured prior to using this module.

• Both pkl_src and pkl_dest are needed when changing PKL VRF.
