nxos_l2_interfaces – Manages Layer-2 Interfaces attributes of NX-OS Interfaces

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• This module manages Layer-2 interfaces attributes of NX-OS Interfaces.

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, i.e. Ethernet1/1.
	trunk dictionary			Switchport mode trunk command to configure the interface as a Layer-2 trunk.
		allowed_vlans string		List of allowed VLANs in a given trunk port. These are the only VLANs that will be configured on the trunk.
		native_vlan integer		Native VLAN to be configured in trunk port. It is used as the trunk native VLAN ID.
state string			Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion.

Notes

Note

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

- name: Replace device configuration of specified L2 interfaces with provided configuration.
  nxos_l2_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/1
        trunk:
          native_vlan: 20
          trunk_vlans: 5-10, 15
    state: replaced

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/1

#   switchport trunk allowed vlan 5-10,15
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   switchport trunk native vlan 20
#   switchport mode trunk
# interface mgmt0
#   ip address dhcp
#   ipv6 address auto-config


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/1
#   switchport access vlan 20
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   switchport trunk native vlan 20
# interface mgmt0
#   ip address dhcp
#   ipv6 address auto-config

- name: Override device configuration of all L2 interfaces on device with provided configuration.
  nxos_l2_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/2
        access:
          vlan: 30
    state: overridden

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/1
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   switchport access vlan 30
# interface mgmt0
#   ip address dhcp
#   ipv6 address auto-config


# Using deleted

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/1
#   switchport access vlan 20
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   switchport trunk native vlan 20
# interface mgmt0
#   ip address dhcp
#   ipv6 address auto-config

- name: Delete L2 attributes of given interfaces (Note This won't delete the interface itself).
  nxos_l2_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/1
      - name: Ethernet1/2
    state: deleted

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