eos_l2_interfaces – Manages Layer-2 interface attributes of Arista EOS devices

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• This module provides declarative management of Layer-2 interface on Arista EOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of Layer-2 interface options
	access dictionary			Switchport mode access command to configure the interface as a layer 2 access.
		vlan integer		Configure given VLAN in access port. It's used as the access VLAN ID.
	name string / required			Full name of interface, e.g. Ethernet1.
	trunk dictionary			Switchport mode trunk command to configure the interface as a Layer 2 trunk.
		native_vlan integer		Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. It is used as the trunk native VLAN ID.
		trunk_allowed_vlans list		List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. These are the only VLANs that will be configured on the trunk.
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion

Notes

Note

• Tested against Arista EOS 4.20.10M

• This module works with connection network_cli. See the EOS Platform Options.
