New in version 2.5.
DEPRECATED¶
- Removed in Ansible
version: 2.13
- Why
Updated modules released with more functionality.
- Alternative
nxos_lag_interfaces
Synopsis¶
This module provides declarative management of link aggregation groups on Cisco NXOS devices.
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
aggregate
list
|
List of link aggregation definitions.
|
||
force
boolean
|
|
When true it forces link aggregation group members to match what is declared in the members param. This can be used to remove members.
|
|
group
string
/ required
|
Channel-group number for the port-channel Link aggregation group.
|
||
members
list
|
List of interfaces that will be managed in the link aggregation group.
|
||
min_links
integer
|
Minimum number of ports required up before bringing up the link aggregation group.
|
||
mode
string
|
|
Mode for the link aggregation group.
|
|
provider
dictionary
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli .This option is only required if you are using NX-API.
For more information please see the NXOS Platform Options guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
|
||
auth_pass
string
added in 2.5.3 |
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
added in 2.5.3 |
|
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
string
/ 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
string
|
Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This is a common argument used for either cli or nxapi transports. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. |
||
port
integer
|
Default: "0 (use common port)"
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. This value applies to either cli or nxapi. The port value will default to the appropriate transport common port if none is provided in the task. (cli=22, http=80, https=443).
|
|
ssh_keyfile
string
|
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for the cli transport. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
||
timeout
integer
|
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. NX-API can be slow to return on long-running commands (sh mac, sh bgp, etc).
|
|
transport
string
/ required
|
|
Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. The transport argument supports connectivity to the device over cli (ssh) or nxapi.
|
|
use_proxy
boolean
added in 2.5 |
|
If
no , the environment variables http_proxy and https_proxy will be ignored. |
|
use_ssl
boolean
|
|
Configures the transport to use SSL if set to
yes only when the transport=nxapi , otherwise this value is ignored. |
|
username
string
|
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate either the CLI login or the nxapi authentication depending on which transport is used. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |
||
validate_certs
boolean
|
|
If
no , SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the transport argument is not nxapi, this value is ignored. |
|
purge
boolean
|
|
Purge links not defined in the aggregate parameter.
|
|
state
string
|
|
State of the link aggregation group.
|
Notes¶
Note
Tested against NXOSv 7.0(3)I5(1).
state=absent
removes the portchannel config and interface if it already exists. If members to be removed are not explicitly passed, all existing members (if any), are removed.Members must be a list.
LACP needs to be enabled first if active/passive modes are used.
