Notes

Note

  • This module is also used to create logical interfaces such as vlanif and loopbacks.

  • This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.

  • Recommended connection is netconf.

  • This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.

Examples

- name: interface module test
  hosts: cloudengine
  connection: local

  vars:
    cli:
      host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
      port: "{{ ansible_ssh_port }}"
      username: "{{ username }}"
      password: "{{ password }}"
      transport: cli

  tasks:
  - name: Ensure an interface is a Layer 3 port and that it has the proper description
    ce_interface:

      mode: layer3
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Admin down an interface
    ce_interface:
      interface: 10GE1/0/22
