nxos_lacp_interfaces – Manage Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) attributes of interfaces on Cisco NX-OS devices

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• This module manages Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) attributes of NX-OS Interfaces.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list / elements=dictionary				A dictionary of LACP interfaces options.
	convergence dictionary			This dict contains configurable options related to convergence. Applicable only for Port-channel.
		graceful boolean	Choices: no yes	port-channel lacp graceful convergence. Disable this only with lacp ports connected to Non-Nexus peer. Disabling this with Nexus peer can lead to port suspension.
		vpc boolean	Choices: no yes	Enable lacp convergence for vPC port channels.
	links dictionary			This dict contains configurable options related to max and min port-channel links. Applicable only for Port-channel.
		max integer		Port-channel max bundle.
		min integer		Port-channel min links.
	mode string		Choices: delay	LACP mode. Applicable only for Port-channel.
	name string / required			Name of the interface.
	port_priority integer			LACP port priority for the interface. Range 1-65535. Applicable only for Ethernet.
	rate string		Choices: fast normal	Rate at which PDUs are sent by LACP. Applicable only for Ethernet. At fast rate LACP is transmitted once every 1 second. At normal rate LACP is transmitted every 30 seconds after the link is bundled.
	suspend_individual boolean		Choices: no yes	port-channel lacp state. Disabling this will cause lacp to put the port to individual state and not suspend the port in case it does not get LACP BPDU from the peer ports in the port-channel.
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

Examples

# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
#

- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration.
  nxos_lacp_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: Ethernet1/3
        port_priority: 5
        rate: fast
    state: merged

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/3
# lacp port-priority 5
# lacp rate fast


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/3
#   lacp port-priority 5
# interface port-channel11
#   lacp mode delay

- name: Replace device lacp interfaces configuration with the given configuration.
  nxos_lacp_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: port-channel11
        links:
          min: 4
    state: replaced

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/3
#   lacp port-priority 5
# interface port-channel11
#   lacp min-links 4


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/3
#   lacp port-priority 5
# interface port-channel11
#   lacp mode delay

- name: Override device configuration of all LACP interfaces attributes of given interfaces on device with provided configuration.
  nxos_lacp_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: port-channel11
        links:
          min: 4
    state: overridden

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface port-channel11
# lacp min-links 4


# Using deleted

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/3
#   lacp port-priority 5
# interface port-channel11
#   lacp mode delay

- name: Delete LACP interfaces configurations.
  nxos_lacp_interfaces:
    state: deleted

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

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
after list	when changed	The configuration as structured data after module completion. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
before list	always	The configuration as structured data prior to module invocation. Sample: The configuration returned will always be in the same format of the parameters above.
commands list	always	The set of commands pushed to the remote device. Sample: ['interface port-channel10', 'lacp min-links 5', 'lacp mode delay']
