Synopsis

• This module manages Global Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on NX-OS devices.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter				Choices/Defaults	Comments
config dictionary					LACP global options.
	system dictionary				LACP system options
		mac dictionary			MAC address to be used for the LACP Protocol exchanges
			address string		MAC-address (FORMAT :xxxx.xxxx.xxxx).
			role string	Choices: primary secondary	The role for the Switch.
		priority integer			The system priority to use in LACP negotiations.
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 | include lacp. 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 deleted gathered rendered parsed	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

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

• Feature lacp should be enabled for this module.
