cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces – LLDP 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_lldp_interfaces.

New in version 1.0.0: of cisco.nxos

Synopsis

• This module manages interfaces’ configuration for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) on NX-OS platforms.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A list of link layer discovery configurations for interfaces.
	name string / required			Name of the interface
	receive boolean		Choices: no yes	Used to enable or disable the reception of LLDP packets on that interface. By default, this is enabled after LLDP is enabled globally.
	tlv_set dictionary			Used to configure TLV parameters on the interface
		management_address string		Used to mention the IPv4 or IPv6 management address for the interface
		vlan integer		Used to mention the VLAN for the interface
	transmit boolean		Choices: no yes	Used to enable or disable the transmission of LLDP packets on that interface. By default, this is enabled after LLDP is enabled globally.
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 the configuration should be left in

Notes

Note

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

• The LLDP feature needs to be enabled before using this module

Examples

# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
#

- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
    - name: Ethernet1/4
      receive: false
      transmit: true
      tlv_set:
        management_address: 192.168.122.64
      vlan: 12
    state: merged

# After state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv-set management-address 192.168.122.64
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 12


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv-set management-address 192.168.122.64
# interface Ethernet1/5
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 10

- name: Replace LLDP configuration on interfaces with given configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
    - name: Ethernet1/4
      transmit: no
      tlv_set:
        vlan: 2
    state: replaced


# After state:
# -----------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv_set vlan 2
# interface Ethernet1/5
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 10


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv-set management-address 192.168.122.64
# interface Ethernet1/5
#   no lldp transmit
#   lldp tlv-set vlan 10

- name: Override LLDP configuration on all interfaces with given configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    config:
    - name: Ethernet1/7
      receive: no
      tlv_set:
        vlan: 12
    state: overridden


# After state:
# -----------
#
# interface Ethernet1/7
#   no lldp receive
#   lldp tlv_set vlan 12


# Using deleted

# Before state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   lldp tlv-set management vlan 24
#   no lldp transmit
# interface mgmt0
#   no lldp receive

- name: Delete LLDP interfaces configuration
  cisco.nxos.nxos_lldp_interfaces:
    state: deleted

# After state:
# ------------
#

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 resulting configuration model invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list / elements=string	always	The configuration prior to the model 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 Ethernet1/2', 'lldp receive', 'lldp tlv-set vlan 12']
