Synopsis ¶

This module manages Layer-3 interfaces attributes of NX-OS Interfaces.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters ¶

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of Layer-3 interface options
	dot1q integer			Configures IEEE 802.1Q VLAN encapsulation on a subinterface.
	evpn_multisite_tracking string added in 1.1.0 of cisco.nxos		Choices: fabric-tracking dci-tracking	VxLAN evpn multisite Interface tracking. Supported only on selected model.
	ipv4 list / elements=dictionary			IPv4 address and attributes of the L3 interface.
		address string		IPV4 address of the L3 interface.
		secondary boolean	Choices: no yes	A boolean attribute to manage addition of secondary IP address.
		tag integer		URIB route tag value for local/direct routes.
	ipv6 list / elements=dictionary			IPv6 address and attributes of the L3 interface.
		address string		IPV6 address of the L3 interface.
		tag integer		URIB route tag value for local/direct routes.
	name string / required			Full name of L3 interface, i.e. Ethernet1/1.
	redirects boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables/disables ip redirects
	unreachables boolean		Choices: no yes	Enables/disables ip redirects
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'. 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. The state overridden would override the IP address configuration of all interfaces on the device with the provided configuration in the task. Use caution with this state as you may loose access to the device.

Notes ¶

Note

Tested against NXOS 7.3.(0)D1(1) on VIRL
