cisco.nxos.nxos_bfd_interfaces – BFD interfaces resource module

Note

This plugin is part of the cisco.nxos collection (version 1.4.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.nxos.

To use it in a playbook, specify: cisco.nxos.nxos_bfd_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.nxos

Synopsis

• Manages attributes of Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the interface.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary			The provided configuration
	bfd string	Choices: enable disable	Enable/Disable Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) on the interface.
	echo string	Choices: enable disable	Enable/Disable BFD Echo functionality on the interface.
	name string		The name of the interface.
running_config string			This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the NX-OS device by executing the command show running-config | section '^interface|^feature bfd'. 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 gathered rendered parsed	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

• Tested against NX-OS 7.0(3)I5(1).

• Feature bfd should be enabled for this module.

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 Ethernet1/1', 'no bfd', 'no bfd echo']
