Synopsis¶
This module provides declarative management of VLANs on Cisco IOS network devices.
Note
This module has a corresponding action plugin.
Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
---|---|---|---|
aggregate
list
/ elements=dictionary
|
List of VLANs definitions.
|
||
associated_interfaces
list
/ elements=string
|
This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vlan
name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vlan interfaces on device it will result in failure. |
||
delay
integer
|
Delay the play should wait to check for declarative intent params values.
|
||
interfaces
list
/ elements=string
|
List of interfaces that should be associated to the VLAN.
|
||
name
string
|
Name of the VLAN.
|
||
state
string
|
|
State of the VLAN configuration.
|
|
vlan_id
string
/ required
|
ID of the VLAN. Range 1-4094.
|
||
associated_interfaces
list
/ elements=string
|
This is a intent option and checks the operational state of the for given vlan
name for associated interfaces. If the value in the associated_interfaces does not match with the operational state of vlan interfaces on device it will result in failure. |
||
delay
integer
|
Default: 10
|
Delay the play should wait to check for declarative intent params values.
|
|
interfaces
list
/ elements=string
|
List of interfaces that should be associated to the VLAN.
|
||
name
string
|
Name of the VLAN.
|
||
provider
dictionary
|
Deprecated
Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using
connection: network_cli .For more information please see the IOS Platform Options guide.
A dict object containing connection details.
|
||
auth_pass
string
|
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
|
|
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
|
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 value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD will be used instead. |
||
port
integer
|
Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.
|
||
ssh_keyfile
path
|
Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE will be used instead. |
||
timeout
integer
|
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.
|
||
username
string
|
Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable
ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME will be used instead. |
||
purge
boolean
|
|
Purge VLANs not defined in the aggregate parameter.
|
|
state
string
|
|
State of the VLAN configuration.
|
|
vlan_id
integer
|
ID of the VLAN. Range 1-4094.
