junos_lacp_interfaces – Manage Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) attributes of interfaces on Juniper JUNOS devices

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• This module manages Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) attributes of interfaces on Juniper JUNOS devices.

Parameters

Parameter				Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary					The list of dictionaries of LACP interfaces options.
	force_up boolean			Choices: no yes	This is a boolean argument to control if the port should be up in absence of received link Aggregation Control Protocol Data Unit (LACPDUS). This value is applicable for member interfaces only.
	name string				Name Identifier of the interface or link aggregation group.
	period string			Choices: fast slow	Timer interval for periodic transmission of LACP packets. If the value is set to fast the packets are received every second and if the value is slow the packets are received every 30 seconds. This value is applicable for aggregate interface only.
	port_priority integer				Priority of the member port. This value is applicable for member interfaces only. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
	sync_reset string			Choices: disable enable	The argument notifies minimum-link failure out of sync to peer. If the value is disable it disables minimum-link failure handling at LACP level and if value is enable it enables minimum-link failure handling at LACP level. This value is applicable for aggregate interface only.
	system dictionary				This dict object contains configurable options related to LACP system parameters for the link aggregation group. This value is applicable for aggregate interface only.
		mac dictionary			Specifies the system ID to use in LACP negotiations for the bundle, encoded as a MAC address.
			address string		The system ID to use in LACP negotiations.
		priority integer			Specifies the system priority to use in LACP negotiations for the bundle. Refer to vendor documentation for valid values.
state string				Choices: merged ← replaced overridden deleted	The state of the configuration after module completion.
