nxos_lag_interfaces – Manages link aggregation groups of NX-OS Interfaces

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• This module manages attributes of link aggregation groups of NX-OS Interfaces.

Parameters

Parameter			Choices/Defaults	Comments
config list				A list of link aggregation group configurations.
	members list			The list of interfaces that are part of the group.
		force boolean	Choices: no yes	When true it forces link aggregation group members to match what is declared in the members param. This can be used to remove members.
		member string		The interface name.
		mode string	Choices: active yes passive	Link aggregation group (LAG).
	name string / required			Name of the link aggregation group (LAG).
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.
• This module works with connection network_cli.

Examples

# Using merged

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4

- name: Merge provided configuration with device configuration.
  nxos_lag_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: port-channel99
        members:
          - member: Ethernet1/4
    state: merged

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 99


# Using replaced

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 99 mode active

- name: Replace device configuration of specified LAG attributes of given interfaces with provided configuration.
  nxos_lag_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: port-channel10
        members:
          - member: Ethernet1/4
    state: replaced

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 10


# Using overridden

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 10
# interface Ethernet1/2
#   channel-group 99 mode passive

- name: Override device configuration of all LAG attributes of given interfaces on device with provided configuration.
  nxos_lag_interfaces:
    config:
      - name: port-channel20
        members:
          - member: Ethernet1/6
            force: True
    state: overridden

# After state:
# ------------
# interface Ethernet1/2
# interface Ethernet1/4
# interface Ethernet1/6
#   channel-group 20 force


# Using deleted

# Before state:
# -------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   channel-group 99 mode active

- name: Delete LAG attributes of given interface (This won't delete the port-channel itself).
  nxos_lag_interfaces:
    config:
      - port-channel: port-channel99
    state: deleted

- name: Delete LAG attributes of all the interfaces
  nxos_lag_interfaces:
    state: deleted

# After state:
# ------------
#
# interface Ethernet1/4
#   no channel-group 99

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: ['command 1', 'command 2', 'command 3']

Status
