ce_switchport – Manages Layer 2 switchport interfaces on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis

  • Manages Layer 2 switchport interfaces on HUAWEI CloudEngine switches.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
access_vlan
-
If mode=access, used as the access VLAN ID, in the range from 1 to 4094.
interface
- / required
Full name of the interface, i.e. 40GE1/0/22.
mode
-
    Choices:
  • access
  • trunk
The link type of an interface.
native_vlan
-
If mode=trunk, used as the trunk native VLAN ID, in the range from 1 to 4094.
state
-
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
  • unconfigured
Manage the state of the resource.
trunk_vlans
-
If mode=trunk, used as the VLAN range to ADD or REMOVE from the trunk, such as 2-10 or 2,5,10-15, etc.

Notes

Note

  • When state=absent, VLANs can be added/removed from trunk links and the existing access VLAN can be ‘unconfigured’ to just having VLAN 1 on that interface.

  • When working with trunks VLANs the keywords add/remove are always sent in the port trunk allow-pass vlan command. Use verbose mode to see commands sent.

  • When state=unconfigured, the interface will result with having a default Layer 2 interface, i.e. vlan 1 in access mode.

  • 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: switchport module test
  hosts: cloudengine
  connection: local
  gather_facts: no
  vars:
    cli:
      host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
      port: "{{ ansible_ssh_port }}"
      username: "{{ username }}"
      password: "{{ password }}"
      transport: cli

  tasks:
  - name: Ensure 10GE1/0/22 is in its default switchport state
    ce_switchport:
      interface: 10GE1/0/22
      state: unconfigured
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Ensure 10GE1/0/22 is configured for access vlan 20
    ce_switchport:
      interface: 10GE1/0/22
      mode: access
      access_vlan: 20
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Ensure 10GE1/0/22 only has vlans 5-10 as trunk vlans
    ce_switchport:
      interface: 10GE1/0/22
      mode: trunk
      native_vlan: 10
      trunk_vlans: 5-10
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Ensure 10GE1/0/22 is a trunk port and ensure 2-50 are being tagged (doesn't mean others aren't also being tagged)
    ce_switchport:
      interface: 10GE1/0/22
      mode: trunk
      native_vlan: 10
      trunk_vlans: 2-50
      provider: '{{ cli }}'

  - name: Ensure these VLANs are not being tagged on the trunk
    ce_switchport:
      interface: 10GE1/0/22
      mode: trunk
      trunk_vlans: 51-4000
      state: absent
      provider: '{{ cli }}'
