Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
access_vlan
-
Configure given VLAN in access port. If mode=access, used as the access VLAN ID.
aggregate
-
List of Layer-2 interface definitions.
mode
-
    Choices:
  • access ←
  • trunk
Mode in which interface needs to be configured.
name
- / required
Full name of the interface excluding any logical unit number, i.e. Ethernet1/3.

aliases: interface
native_vlan
-
Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. If mode=trunk, used as the trunk native VLAN ID.
provider
-
added in 2.8
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using connection: network_cli.
For more information please see the CNOS Platform Options guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
auth_pass
-
Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If authorize is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS will be used instead.
authorize
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE will be used instead.
host
- / required
Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
password
-
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead.
port
-
Default:
22
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
ssh_keyfile
-
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILEwill be used instead.
timeout
-
Default:
10
Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
username
-
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead.
state
-
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
  • unconfigured
Manage the state of the Layer-2 Interface configuration.
trunk_allowed_vlans
-
List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. If mode=trunk, these are the only VLANs that will be configured on the trunk, i.e. "2-10,15".
trunk_vlans
-
List of VLANs to be configured in trunk port. If mode=trunk, used as the VLAN range to ADD or REMOVE from the trunk.

Examples

- name: Ensure Ethernet1/5 is in its default l2 interface state
  cnos_l2_interface:
    name: Ethernet1/5
    state: unconfigured

- name: Ensure Ethernet1/5 is configured for access vlan 20
  cnos_l2_interface:
    name: Ethernet1/5
    mode: access
    access_vlan: 20

- name: Ensure Ethernet1/5 only has vlans 5-10 as trunk vlans
  cnos_l2_interface:
    name: Ethernet1/5
    mode: trunk
    native_vlan: 10
    trunk_vlans: 5-10

- name: Ensure Ethernet1/5 is a trunk port and ensure 2-50 are being tagged
        (doesn't mean others aren't also being tagged)
  cnos_l2_interface:
    name: Ethernet1/5
    mode: trunk
    native_vlan: 10
    trunk_vlans: 2-50

- name: Ensure these VLANs are not being tagged on the trunk
  cnos_l2_interface:
    name: Ethernet1/5
    mode: trunk
    trunk_vlans: 51-4094
    state: absent
