arista.eos.eos_lldp_interfaces – LLDP interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the arista.eos collection (version 1.3.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install arista.eos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: arista.eos.eos_lldp_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of arista.eos

Synopsis

• This module manages Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) attributes of interfaces on Arista EOS devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			A dictionary of LLDP interfaces options.
	name string		Full name of the interface (i.e. Ethernet1).
	receive boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable/disable LLDP RX on an interface.
	transmit boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable/disable LLDP TX on an interface.
running_config string			This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | section ^interface. 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		Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted parsed gathered rendered	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

• Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M

• This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
after list / elements=string	when changed	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list / elements=string	always	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list / elements=string	always	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface Ethernet1', 'no lldp transmit']
