Examples

# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/6

- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration.

            secondary: True
            tag: 10
        ipv6:
          - address: fd5d:12c9:2201:2::1/64
            tag: 6
    state: merged

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/6
#   ip address 192.168.22.1/24 tag 5
#   ip address 10.1.1.1/24 secondary tag 10
# interfaqce Ethernet1/6
#   ipv6 address fd5d:12c9:2201:2::1/64 tag 6


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/6
#   ip address 192.168.22.1/24
#   ipv6 address "fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64"

- name: Replace device configuration of specified L3 interfaces with provided configuration.
  nxos_l3_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/6
        ipv4: 192.168.22.3/24
    state: replaced

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/6
#   ip address 192.168.22.3/24


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   ip address 192.168.22.1/24
# interface Ethernet1/6
#   ipv6 address "fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64"

- name: Override device configuration of all L3 interfaces on device with provided configuration.
  nxos_l3_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/2
        ipv4: 192.168.22.3/4
    state: overridden

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   ipv4 address 192.168.22.3/24
# interface Ethernet1/6


# Using deleted

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/6
#   ip address 192.168.22.1/24
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   ipv6 address "fd5d:12c9:2201:1::1/64"

- name: Delete L3 attributes of given interfaces (This won't delete the interface itself).
  nxos_l3_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/6
      - name: Ethernet1/2
    state: deleted

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/6
# interface Ethernet1/2
